Britain?s Second Front roads are widened
Photograph: Britain?s Second Front roads are widened. Important: these pictures must not be published until D-Day. Many roads in many parts of Britain have been extensively widened and bridges built in order to carry the extra military traffic the Second Front made necessary. This work is carried out by both civilians and military engineers. In many cases, narrow and dangerous roads have been straightened. Where large trees were an encumbrance, they were torn down. This was done at high speed by the most [missing]. Shows an old wooden bridge being replaced by a modern reinforced concrete one to carry the weight of heavier military traffic who will use it for the Second Front. Picture issued April (?) 1944. British Official photograph BH 23391. From a collection of 33 contact prints of British official photographs mounted on card with original associated typescript captions. Photographs chiefly relate to D-Day and the Battle of Normandy, 1944. Some of the captions are incomplete. Associated with D-Day and Operation OVERLORD, World War Two, North West Europe (1944-1945) 1944 and the Normandy Breakout, World War Two, North West Europe (1944-1945) 1944. Date: 1944
