BETTER TO GO OVER THAN TO BE STUCK BELOW

As a masterpiece of Swiss engineering, the ASTRA-Bridge has established itself both nationally and internationally as a flagship project and continues to attract growing interest worldwide. Commissioned by the Federal Roads Office (ASTRA), this ambitious project was developed and implemented by Marti Technik AG, among others. The objective was clear: to maintain the flow of traffic through motorway construction sites without having to close any lanes.

Babe wake up, new Marti Group just dropped!

[@justinbrogden4778]

I’m awake!

[@AidanofVT]

Imagine living in a nation so functional that THIS is a "worn road surface" in need of replacement.

[@miguelotieno3573]

I am also shocked

[@MrSaemichlaus]

Nice remake of previous videos, I'd say this one is much easier to understand for the common viewer.

[@viniciusbonatto3943]

That sequence ate 8:15 is pretty awesome

[@Nelo390]

It's like they're dancing!

[@sarahjrandomnumbers]

9 Minutes of full on gigachad engineering.

[@markuszehnder8180]

What a crazy Project !

[@raplapla9329]

@MartiGroup 6:00 those are "man-years" right?

[@maoiljitschguevara]

Yeah, must be. I had to rewatch that part; the first time it certainly sounded like "We took 8 years to design and 27 years to build that bridge".
But even the Swiss aren't THAT slow 😂

[@owenschwartz]

These videos are incredible!

[@WowCoolHorse]

I really really hope to see the US modernize and use equipment like this more often.

[@68at97]

does this thing qualify for any world records such as longest land vehicle?

[@jimsvideos7201]

The idea that the entire is mobile when assembled only sank in now; that makes perfect sense but is still a hair’s breadth away from magic.

[@jimsvideos7201]

Question though: can the assembled bridge move sideways, so as to repair the other lane?

[@majorpat8866]

It can move nearly 360° The only True barrier is the Middle Guardians

[@linamishima]

Is the ASTRA-bridge limited to the lane it was deployed to cover? Through moving it forwards at an angle then backing up, can it switch lanes?

[@toiletfx5679]

probably yes, though you would need to remove a lot of middle guard rail in order to get it to the other side

[@linamishima]

@@toiletfx5679 true, I was mainly thinking about lanes in the same direction/sides, given that it appears to only allow renovation of a single lane. I imagine swapping sides/directions would be best done by redeploying.

[@toiletfx5679]

@@linamishima I think It can do both sides but in this case only one lane needed repairing

[@sarahjrandomnumbers]

It can go sideways, so I doubt they'd have to pack it up just to move it 7m to the left. Pretty big design flaw if they do.

[@maoiljitschguevara]

Watch the animations again - those bogey wheels will turn sideways.

[@sreehari2502]

Thanks Marti

[@danielherman668]

This is fucking ingenious!

[@jimsvideos7201]

The noise level under the bridge must be remarkable, but effective PPE for that exists.

[@benjaminshtark5977]

but is it worth it?
putting that bridge is expensive, maybe just use cops to limit traffic and just do the job?

[@TheBertjeT]

About 40 video cuts in the first 2 minutes, does not feel great to me. Cool bridge though.
