EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Jim Hancock in February 1970, showcases the Almondsbury Interchange, located at Junction 15 on the M5 and Junction 20 on the M4 in Bristol, England. At the time this image was captured, a significant engineering feat was underway: the M4 motorway was being carried over the still-under-construction M5 motorway. The aerial perspective of the photograph offers a unique vantage point, revealing the intricate network of roads and infrastructure that connects this intersection. The M4, visible in the upper right corner of the image, is suspended gracefully above the M5, which is shown in its earlier stages of development below. The contrast between the completed motorway and the ongoing construction work highlights the progression of this major transportation project. The intersection of the M5 and M4 motorways at Almondsbury is a testament to the engineering prowess of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The design and execution of this interchange allowed for seamless transitions between the two major roads, improving connectivity and transportation efficiency in the region. Jim Hancock's photograph serves as a fascinating snapshot of history, offering a glimpse into the past and the evolution of the motorway network in the United Kingdom. This image is a reminder of the ingenuity and determination that went into constructing these vital transportation infrastructure projects, which continue to shape the way we travel and connect with one another.
