Which megaproject has the biggest impact in your country ? 💡👇
Pumpwell Flyover. This is the longest running project for the shortest bridge ever built. 13 years to build a bridge 1.3 KMS long. Truly a Mega Project
In our country, the best is I think the Konza city,and the Nairobi Express way
Metro Manila Mega Subway
Partial operation 2022
Full 2025
And New Manila International Airport
2026-2027
I don't know in my country which project is the most expensive but india is going to invest 1.3 trillion dollars in infrastructure
In Germany it’s BER and Stuttgart21 😂😂
Very interesting video! The third project definitely has an interesting name 😂
Yea XDD

I grew up in the Boston area during much of the big dig. It was a nightmare getting around the city back then because of all the construction sites everywhere. But the final result was like night and day. Going into Boston was a bumper-to-bumper ordeal almost any time of day, but now it’s pretty swift getting in and out. And the green spaces that opened up are quite nice. It was well worth the money spent imo
What's a bigger nightmare is just making a better system for train would have done much better for the traffic and probably have been cheaper
@@themangastand8475 agreed
Amen
@@themangastand8475 Boston already has one of the highest public transit ridership in America. You will never convince everyone to give up a car although many in Boston do. You need to invest in both to make a real dent. Driving in Boston is expensive to start with parking is expensive and the toll's to get in and out of the city is expensive as well. Some people will still drive no matter what. Anyways the biggest impact of the big dig was not the traffic rather the complete transformation of the area. Green Beautiful and very walkable.
The big dig was a boondoggle, rife with corruption, and the gridlock is worse than ever. Also, because of some shortcuts and shady construction materials, there’re still people who worked on that project, refusing to go through those leaky tunnels.
Just amazing to see projects of this mass getting built and defying all odds!
I rode Shanghai - Beijing line in 2018. Train travelled around 350 Km/h. The total journey took less than 5 hours. In comparison, in early 1970's, such a trip took around 22 hours on "Super Express" train at that time, and over 24 hours for regular express.
As an airline pilot I've landed and took off from Osaka airport multiple times and it's still fascinating to be there.
I came to TH-cam to learn how to trade after listening to a guy on radio talk about the importance of investing and how he made $460.000 in 2 months for 70.000. Somehow this video has helped shed light on some things. But I'm confused, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas
I will forever be indebted to Madeleine latitia , she've changed my whole life I'll continue to preach about her name for the whole she've save me from a huge financial debt with just little investment, thanks to Madeleine latitia
Wow amazing to see here who trade with expert Mrs Madeleine I'm currently on 5th trade with her and my portfolio has grown tremendously
i invested £50k and earn £275k though the profit is not up to my
expectations but I’m glad I made my withdrawal
Mrs Madeleine is legit and her methods work like magic I keep on earnings$7,000 every week trading with her
Wow I'm just shocked you guys know expert Mrs Madeleine , I thought I'm the only one trading with her
Channel Tunnel has proved to be a success, the trade and usefulness of the channel tunnel has earned the UK and France billions more then was spent.
My uncle worked on the construction but missed the last ride back to the entrance one night, he said had to walk for 30 mins to get out!
Back in december 2007, I flew out of Kansai airport to Beijing ,its a fantastic airport so clean , and a lovely envoirment inside it. The work that went into building it as above one mega build.
Don't talk about China in any infrastructure videos. Because in the eyes of an infrastructure maniac all infrastructure projects are as easy as breathing.
@@user-pg5cj3dl2t almost by definition, any project done by china is a megaproject....just from the sheer scale of them.
What's crazy is that they don't know how much longer it will last. It will either need to be abandoned, or BILLIONS more spent due to it sinking and water rising.
@@gomahklawm4446 maybe they're building it for aquaman?
Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway moved 210 million passengers in 2019, doubled its design capacity. That's why China is working on longer coastal high-speed railway that is parallel to the Beijing-Shanghai one.
It took just 7 years for the Japanese to complete that airport! approved in '87, completed in '94! mother of efficiency.
Lmao the new Suez canal from start to finish took one year :P
@@crunchygs8771 with new technology and they only dig.
But the japanese when? Where? and what?
@@caddumlaychrisdairusa.7888 what? First of all digging is alot harder the. Just throwing dirt and second of all the Suez canal is so much deeper and alot more sand and stone was removed then that tiny little airport, and on top of that it took 1 year from the first sign to the first boat to cross don't say that isn't impressive
@@caddumlaychrisdairusa.7888 plus the expansion was 42000 acres of land removed for the new Suez canal while the airport is only 1300 so uh it's 32 times bigger and it took 7 times less time ? Yes Japan super speed
And japanese also need 7 years to build subway metro in jakarta with only 16km long and 10 years for nagasaki shinkansen line and still under construction
Another belter & love the content & keep up the good work!
Thank you for subtitles ❤️
Keep up the great content 🙌🏼
Thank you! Will do!
Amazing content..thanks alot for luvly posting
I’ve been to Kansai airport. Didn’t know the story behind it and just thought it was cool, that they had a island big enough to build an airport on.
lol
Fyi Its man made island
What's crazy is that they don't know how much longer the airport will last. It will either need to be abandoned, or BILLIONS more spent due to it sinking and water rising.
Indeed Dr Aigbomian on TH-cam his a great man I was cured of genital herpes virus completely with the help of his herbal medicine I ordered from him.👉👉👉💯 th-cam.com/channels/rGK2m-XVHfEiYTlAEyMC7A.html
Kansai International airport 🛫 is an ultimate project...👍
What's crazy is that they don't know how much longer the airport will last. It will either need to be abandoned, or BILLIONS more spent due to it sinking and water rising.
In the Philippines, what makes the construction project expensive are the pockets of the government officials you need to deal with. Amazing!
Are you sure madam? Our government today is different.
@@sportstourchannel7918 I think you are only referring to the nationals positions, specially the president. Yes the president is very different but when it comes to the local positions, those are still the same corrupt officials several years ago.
@@amygdalabrains2855 Agree, the president is really different and has lots of project that are done now and bias medias don't even report any of the Build Build Build projects, all they do is criticize the President just like what happened to Trump in USA. But Local officials of different provinces and cities, still so many corrupts. Also Pres. Duterte wanted to finish most project by 2022 because you know, the next president could be another liberal and those projects would surely stop, the liberals don't like spending millions on projects that could improve our lives, they wanted the money for themselves. Even if most Pinoys are now awake of Liberals mismanagements and corruptions, the election could easily be rigged, if they did it in America and installed Biden, they could easily do it in our country.
just like in Argentina
Same in Bangladesh
What a great video chat luxury I have not been on one of those expensive Mega projects but I would like to go on one of them soon I’ll tune in next week to see what your next video is keep up the good work!
Love detailed videos like this 🔥🔥
I remember the issues with traffic in Boston and the Big Deal, although took a long time to complete, was well worth it. Traffic is still sort of bad, but it is a lot better than what it used to be. Also, it would be interesting to see how much it cost for the similar project like this in Dallas, Texas with the 75/635 interchange and the "dig" of 635 for the express lanes.
They could have just built more railways and solved the problem much more efficiently, building more roads to combat traffic is incredibly stupid
It has been said that after it was done. The math on traffic has out grown the project. I’m from Boston and the traffic is still bad
@@carter87.86
Boston already has a really viable and expansive public transportation system. People just refuse to use it. America is a car centric nation and at this point it's kinda impossible to change that.
I remember the Big Dig and how painful it was when they were doing it. Thank god its a success in the end.
Amazing!!! Great adventure. Fascinating. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The Big Dig in Boston, Massachusetts always fascinated me, especially when Sydney, Australia decided to build the Sydney Harbour Tunnel, which actually sits on the bottom of the harbour, it's not subterranean...
Great docu! I travelled Kansai airport several times as well as the Beijing Shanghai railroad. Both great pieces of infrastructure. The Boston project is news for me; sounds challenging still today, if it didn’t solve all issues. Thanks for the docu!
Just fyi, Back in 2011, china high speed train derailed 40+ passengers killed and china gov buried them(cars+passengers).
@@bysaaa3048 fyi, high speed train in Spain and the spanish government buried the info. th-cam.com/video/zgwynC6uCJE/w-d-xo.html
@@bysaaa3048 fyi, high speed train derailment in France. 10 dead. th-cam.com/video/XehsQuMR_CY/w-d-xo.html
I traveled from Beijing to Shanghai and flew to kansai airport from Shanghai. Very beautiful Trip. Although its interesting driving through empty Chinese Land and then occasionally theres just some highrise building in no mans Land. The approach to kansai is super beautiful
The kansai airport is sinking....slowly.
It seems like 1987 was the year to start mega projects.🤔
Ofc not , it start abt 2000 yrs ago, building the great wall over 6500 km in just 65 years😊
Yes, Kansai is one of the best airport I've ever experienced which is pretty much everything Japan has.
The Channel Tunnel is not just a transit solution; it is an enduring symbol of the friendship and history between France and the United Kingdom.
You forgot the best mega project ever, YOUR CHANNEL!
Thanks for your motivating words :D
That's awesome, you're very kind
This is my favourite one channel ☝️😊❤️
I love your content.keep up!
These are super projects that are useful to the public. Super wow!
nice vedio top luxury..next part pls🥺🥺
All the constructions are magnificient.
I personally liked kansai airport, under tunnel from france to UK
Travelled from Guangzhou to Shenzhen on the bullet train 🚅 it's crazy how fast these things go.
Don't believe it, OverALL it's made in CHINA
Japans Bullet Train
@@heavyfuckingmetal9769 China currently has the fastest in the world. Facts are a simple google search away....
@@ehsanpanjsheriyak3101 Well , those r all made in CHINA.
In fact, the high-speed railroad was made possible by the licensing of Shinkansen technology from Japan.
However, the Japanese railroad company (JR), which licensed the technology, not only made little profit, but also created a strong rival in the international railroad bidding competition.
This is a story that continues to be told in Japan about the state of trust in China and the problems that can be caused by inadvertent technology licensing.
@@fromfareastindy8234 The Japanese we’re really generous with technology licensing with China in 80s and 90s. I suspect it could be put of guilt for the war.
4:47 "They made some archaeological discoveries dated to the pre-revolutionary era". Or what we here in Europe would say, "Some stuff I found while digging up my garden, looks fairly recent"
i appreciate your european sarcasm. right on!
@@m3s69ll No disrespect intended, I guess it's all relative. When something about "archaeological discoveries" hits the news here where I'm from it's usually something from 900-1300 CE. USA has no archeology, America does, and that's from the natives.
You forget Native Americans have been living in the Americas for about 15,000 years.
Stunningly gorgeous
I traveled in that train from Beijing to Shanghai. Awesome experience. Also I went from Shanghai to the airport in the maglev. Wow 🤩
Great video, I Pray who ever sees this be successful in life ❤
Great collection God bless you all
It's very interesting and amazing vedio... Thanks for this
I have passed the Channel Tunnel, Kansai International Airports and the Beijing Shanghai HS Train. They are all impressive
Aaron M, Howdy! :) Never been anywhere; lived in NYC all my life, know only the 5 boroughs, perhaps not so much about Staten Island. I'd love to travel and visit places, but the government got me firmly by the tail, literally. I am sure the projects that were built today are impressive. Today, people are better educated and smarter and machines are so much more advanced from designing to construction.
Osaka-Kansai International Airport!! Wish to go there again... Oh my.. love japan!!
Great video, My favorite channel on TH-cam
Great Infrastructure.
I Likey😎🙂
The Channel tunnel certainly has improved journeys into Europe from UK!
kinda sad when you think about it, on one hand you have Brexit where you get stuck at the border and then you have a great tunnel but still there is no free of traveling anymore with such a great tunnel build for what.
I landed in Kansai Airport in Oct '94 and I felt like I arrived into the future :)
😀 loved the detail.
Boston has done a very beautiful reshaping of downtown area with very pretty parks
You guys should do a video of the East Side Access project in New York City, that I’ve been working on since 2010
Well in Russia, I guess, the most expensive and massive megaproject is propably the bridge from mainland Russia to Kremea.
That bridge is priceless
Just over 4 billions!?
Nice video, thanks :)
Thanks for sharing.
Yes... Myself, wife and daughter travelled from Shanghai to Beijing riding on that High Speed Train.
I love your videos bro keep it up💥💥💥👊
Thanks a lot !
India. Currently the world's largest multi-stage lift irrigation project is in telangana state and it is kaleshwaram

This is the best TH-cam channel to come out of 2020. Thanks for another interesting video!
Wow, thanks!
@@MegaBuildsYT you’re welcome!
Really nice content
Glad you think so!
Woowww amazing construction
Very impressive video to watch..
This documentary has made me feel contradictory emotions: on the one hand, amazement before the greatness of human intellect; on the other, sadness because I live in Mexico and the current would-be president has cancelled what was going to be one of the most important airports of America. The ass! Thanks a lot.
It could of provided so much for the country, a large portion of our GDP is tourism and yet he killed off something that would of helped it more. I can't believe people still support him after all the times he has made an ass of himself.
Any Latin America president has that type of vision. Too corrupt to invest in the country.
Jajaja ja no seas payaso. El aeropuerto de Texcoco iba a destruir el último pulmón verde de la ciudad, costaba 300mil millones de pesos y en 4 años no iban ni al 30% de construcción, un fracaso total
@@sanjuan100100 After Trump you can see that about North America too...
好喜欢这个频道的节目💖🌷😳😳
Fantastic video my # 1 is the Airport
I really love this
Apparently the 23km Kampala Northern Bypass in Uganda is the most expensive road in the world
I consider myself lucky since I have used all of the projects showed in the video!
Wow!!!!
Wow! I only used 1 so far
Good work 👏🏽🔥🔥🔥
Great video!
Thanks!
@@MegaBuildsYT No problem! Maybe you could make a video about all high-speed rail projects in the USA either proposed, planned, or under construction and how each are faring.
Got to see Boston's Big Dig first hand. Beautiful parks and that cable-stayed bridge *chefs kiss*
i love this channel... so much details & knowledge for me
I'm satisfied 😌
Thank you so much 😀
I'm in awe!
It is very interesting and I am getting inspired to make my own TH-cam channel
I've been on the Shanghai-Nanjing section of the Beijing-Shanghai HSR several times on my way to Wuhan, which includes the longest viaduct in the world. Unfortunately this was before the CR400 brought speeds of 350kph on to that line.
Present: Save Trees
Future: Save Oceans
Save the trees. They will do the rest
Great Informative channel 👍
Amazing 😍
Floating Airport concept may be adopted in India for their proposed Airport adjacent to Navi Mumbai. The reason is the Proposed Airport site is in close vicinity of the river and back water. Thus during rainy season there are chances of flooding the area causing interruption of Airport functionality.
to answer your question of what the best construction project in my country, denmark, was, i must say the great belt fixed link.
Very interesting footage 👍♐️
Very amazing and nice project, liked very much 🌹 thank you so much 🌹 god bless you 🌹♥️🍓
When I see bridges with fancy designs I wonder if the fancy design came first or if the engineers thought up the best way to do it first. I suspect that fancy designs win and the engineers are stuck trying to make things work.
Talking in terms of “big dig” as a New Yorker, New York needs a tunnel or a bridge that connects Queens to New Jersey completely bypassing Manhattan because today commuters have to use Hudson crossings for which they have go through Manhattan (which is a complete nightmare) in order go to New Jersey, the same for New Jersey commuters to go to anywhere in NYC.
its an amazing really imagine travelling only 5 hours while the previous was used to take12 to 14 hours
nice work dude!

In Australia many projects have happened at roughly the same scale but I reckon The snowy mountains scheme takes the too spot, also have to say Sydney Harbour bridge And western Sydney airport (currently under construction) are other close contenders
How many kilometers of speed railroad build in Australia?
@@borivojetravica569 zero
The Chinese High Speed rail network is now at 38,000km, at a cost of $20million per km, a total cost of $760billion.
This is almost the same amount that the US spends on defense budget for 1 year only.
It is defintiely clear what the priorities are in both countries.
Even thought the entire network runs at a slight loss, it has enabled 2nd tier and 3rd tier cities in western China to develop at an astonishing pace.
America is not China. In China, most people didn't have cars until recently and like in Europe are used to public transportation. In America, cars have been the number one option and will remain the number one option. In China, a large portion of airspace is owned by the military and so even though their Airline traffic is growing it's a lot more difficult to operate in Chinese airspace vs American. China did high-speed rail out of necessity while in America it would be auxiliary. There just isn't the demand or the will for expensive auxiliary when we already have a huge aviation sector that serves the need for long-distance travel. BTW Amtrack the US passenger rail service regular needs bailout to survive. There just is not the demand for passenger rail in America. Freight rail on the other hand in the US does very very well. The best in the world.
Also, the network doesn't run at a slight loss it runs at a massive loss. Never believe the Chinese numbers. Also being a capitalist society, we don't want the government to take on the huge burden of building something that will lose money each year. Very few high-speed rail lines around the world turn a profit most are money loosers.
@@SuffyanTariq The population density in China much higher than America, thats why train make money. This also similar case for Japan also
@@SuffyanTariq bulshit. china needs the railway system because its the center of worlds manufacture.
I am afraid I have to agree to “Suffan Tariq”, it is most likely that the system in fact runs at a massive loss, and not just a slight one. It was a prestige-project, the vibe was, “look, all our trains are like your best trains, because what is extraordinary for you, is normal for us.” Only this is not the case. Always be careful with the PRC! Even during the great famine during the “Great Leap Forward”, the regime made people (both in China and abroad) believe everything was going great.
I now know what BBD stands for ..... thank you 🙏🙏🙏
it was great information ....
one of the biggest project in my country : star of Persian gulf which made by Iranian engineers and khatamol anbia .
I think u missed the biggest project in Norway 🇳🇴.
Norway's $47 BN Costal Highway.
Can I have your number so we can be friends
awesome video
Amazing engineering….wow
One of the reason many cities are sinking.Weight displace water.
Yes , I've used the Shanghai Beijing rail it's amazing and we need it here in Nigeria n it will help us a lot .
Wow alot to learn
Japanese and Chinese most efficient workers in the world with the creative knowledge.
Awesome content 👏👌
You will hit 1 million soon as I am going to market this channel in India 🇮🇳😀
Wow ITS ENTHRALLING
This is big mega project amazing
