Abstract
In 2017, nearly fifty years after London, Ontario artist Jack Chambers painted his iconic 401 Towards London No. 1, another London artist, Gary Spearin, spotted construction of a new bridge overpass at Exit 232 in Woodstock. Soon after, he contacted Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation (MTO), informing them of the bridge’s cultural influence. Spearin also contacted the Woodstock Art Gallery, who teamed with him on an exhibition that memorialized the bridge`s connection to Chambers’s painting.
