The planning for this project is what amazes me. So many things have to be ready and in working order. With a very short construction window there can be no surprises.
Before a machine was on site so much work had to be done in advance to make this happen. Great to see the job performed so well here in lil old Ireland. Once completed it'll be like nothing was done. People will just take it for granted with no thought on how this feat of engineering got there. Well done to all concerned. 👍👍
Meanwhile in Germany: "Best i can so is 5 years, take it or leave" And during the building phase: " we found a rare kind of cucumbers in the soil and have to relocate them first which expands the building time for another two years"
We had something similar here in New Zealand. A company was building a coal mine and they had to stop construction because the government found a rare native snail. The government spent tens of millions of dollars collecting these rare native snails and put then into a fridge so they would go into hibernation so they could be transported to their new home. Someone in the government accidentally set the temperature too low and the snails all froze to death.
hey sound like Canada too. we have been rebuilding the interchange for like 10 years and its still not over... they found rare snakes at some points that needed to be relocated

US also are rail system in my area has not been really updated in I guess 100 years (not counting the rail road ties) Are roads repairs take 3 to 6 months in some places some have taken 10 years to complete some are still not finished yet I think if my math is correct it has been 20 years.
2 years? 5 years? These are rookie numbers! 3 decades since the collapse of communism and we still don't have a proper national highway despite overinflated budgets.
Construction projects like this that are done in a well-planned well-executed manner to happen quickly with minimal disruption of traffic are amazing. Meanwhile in the US, a given road can be under construction for years on end. I don't know why they even bother putting "road work ahead" signs up, no matter where you are, what road you're on, that's a given.
I have seen couple of your videos, why can't you show the completed work in proper way why so much of hurry in ending the video you ruin the whole excitement of seeing the final result.

@@Hunchbag Work crews laying new track does not count as a "first train" across the bridge. You need a normally scheduled passenger or a nice long freight train to break the bridge in for the "first" crossing.
You can look at this video and think this is a bridge, or you can look at it and realise that engineering is used every day to solve problems we never knew existed.
In Missouri it be a 15 year project with an additional 15 years of planning and legislation. Then it would be $35 million over budget, and would have to be totally redone because the concrete used was out of specifications.

I'm sorry you made some prefabrication mistakes on the half modules: 1) they do not m / f join each other, they do not lengthen the channel but neither vertically. 2) There is no anti-flooding predisposition with pumps connected to the alarm sensors. 3) There is no provision (channel under the base of the artifacts) for the passage of cables and pipes
There is a 4 lane road going to be put under a heavily used rail line not far where i live and they have been working on that section of road for about 5+ years. but they are having to blast through granite.
In my area the planning process alone would take five years then the studies another five years. Or like has been done with one road that had the ground around it collapse six years ago people living near it have to go at least five miles out of the way to get anywhere. And a contract was "awarded" in dec. 2019 but work has yet to start.

Baaa demoraram demais pra fazer uma obra dessa! Aqui no Brasil é pau, se eu não estou enganado já está fazendo uns 10 anos que estão duplicando a BR 470. Olha a rapidez dos caras!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
I see stuff like this happening on a regular basis but what doesn't show in the video is the years of pre-plan and site work to get ready. After that there's months (maybe a year?) of disruption for any regular traffic in the area on existing roads before the magic weekend installation. Once that is done there might another 6 months of getting things back to normal and finished landscape work. The final thought that sticks in my mind is not allowing enough time for the earth to settle properly so the assembly doesn't shift come the next rainy season. That seems to be a common problem with anything built in a hurry.
But prefabrication of large artifacts not provided for by the anti-rust and anti-slip metal walkways for pedestrians and disabled people at half height (one tunnel). But we do not even foresee the predisposition of pumps + additional pipes for the expulsion of water or a double installation of lighting and emergency lights. But neither the systems of cameras outside and inside the underpass, but neither the alarm lights at the entrance / exit, nor even a multifunctional luminous display (variable message, variable signage, etc.) entering from both sides) In essence, the underpass is not digitized on the intranet (LTE and f.o.) controlled by a remote operator on a PC.
Meanwhile, a bridge down the road from my house that's approximately 30' long and 25-30' wide has been being replaced now for the last 4 months and won't be finished till at least the end of September.
@@vittutuu It goes over a small brook on a side road in the middle of the woods in central Connecticut. Trust me, it should not take as long as it's been taking.
