Passing under motorway bridges, 1937

Looking sideways from the moving car, a concrete bridge with a heavy abutment swings past, a car on the opposite carriageway; then the view passes beneath a flat steel overpass carried on a row of slender columns, and the motorway runs on beyond it toward the next bridge. Each crossing had to carry a local road or a railway over the new motorway, and most of the thousands of bridges were built by firms that had been short of work until 1933.
