On the road explores some of the most significant buildings and engineering structures built in Britain to serve motor vehicles. It focuses on ten key examples -including the Dartford Tunnel, the Humber Bridge and Birmingham's Spaghetti Junction- and examines the ways in which these new forms have changed almost every square mile of the country during the twentieth century. All the chosen project have been specially photographed by architect Alex de Rijke, and are annotated with sketches by engineer Michael Hadi. Other contributors concentrate on how we experience the structures, as well as investigating their cultural context.
