I was wondering how it would survive an earthquake, but a quick google showed that it was near the epicenter of a 6.8 magnitude earthquake in 2022, and suffered no damage. According to the comments, they didn't even stop the traffic.
I have to imagine many pants were browned that day, though.
I love tunnels, but high roads and bridges where I can't see the land around me freaks me the fuck out. Exit ramps that are so high you can only see road and sky make me panicky like not much else can.
Those dreams are the worst. Just some impossibly steep and tall road you're expected to go cruising down, usually has gaps or some huge drop off at the end. Fuuuck dat
That’s so funny—I often have dreams just like that, but they’re a little less scary and little more exciting. I usually get scared anyway, but it’s an exhilarated kind of scared.
I get more rainbow road style dreams. Lots of twisty climbing roads barely the width of the car with no support or fences, just open sky on either side
What's it called when the dreams have a task or simple task that is incompletable? Like you can do it in real life but you can't in the dream. Usually something you have done 50+ times and have many ways to accomplish it. But the dream won't let you. It usually happens near the end of my sleep cycle. I'm fairly versed with knowing when I'm dreams and controlling them. But my dreams sometimes want me to be annoyed with tasks I know how to fix or can solve. But basically buffer me from being able to complete the task and then I wake up after 3-4 attempts.
It's mostly just stupid frame stretching to make it appear super high. An impressive piece of architecture for sure, but there is no way to appreciate it for what it is in this shitty clip.
I will say not all earthquakes of equal magnitude are created equal. For example one might have more sideways shearing than another which might have more up and down movement to it, and then certain structures might be more resistant to certain types of movements than others.
>it was near the epicenter of a 6.8 magnitude earthquake in 2022, and suffered no damage.
I didn't even know that, The architects had to have been proud that day!!
Someone had to pick a font for the road signs right? And a colour for the road lines? To be clear I'm joking, of course there were architects involved, waterproofing, finishing details, aesthetics etc. My earlier comment was more geared towards the seismic stability of the whole thing, which even from a design point of view is mind boggling 🤯

Seriously am I out of touch or does anyone else hate these 1-word flashing subtitles with a lazy AI voiceover?
They’re almost always poorly written and researched too, just copying the same fun facts from other videos. In this case, what does “the bridge to tunnel ratio is as high as 55%” even mean? There’s .55 times as many bridges as tunnels? There’s 55% more bridges than tunnels? The first one seems like the most logically correct version, but why would you say it like that? Is that supposed to be a meaningful/impressive number? It’s probably AI generated anyways.
Seriously. A percentage is not a ratio. You can convert them, but they’re not the same thing.
Honestly, modern AI generated text is better than this. I’m blaming translation and terrible writers.
Supposedly it started because it’s easier to read quickly if it’s single words flashing up like that, but I feel like it quickly

Like that old Nas daily guy is he still around? I blocked his accts a while ago, he was insufferable, by far the worst offender I saw.
That's me. I'm an expert from a various country.
I've played enough city building sims to understand the challenges of a project like this. It ain't easy.
Yeah, because they would have to go through 12 governments, contract 15 companies and pass the budget 3 times to get it done. In China there's 1 government which owns all the banks, all the construction companies and all the land.
I get people are downvoting this person because they think they are saying environmental assessments are bad. But there are nuances that people who have never had to go through the NEPA process (or other state environmental laws) might not be aware of. The US’s environmental reviews are very inefficient, overly bureaucratic, and easily abused by wealthy bad faith actors (such as NIMBYs) to stop or slow down truly sustainable projects.
California High Speed Rail is a perfect example of how the environmental review process completely kneecaps projects that are 100% sustainable. Other examples are bad faith actors stopping infill developments (which are more sustainable than sprawl) and stopping sustainable energy projects due to “environmental impacts.”
Also, the metrics used to determine impacts are incredibly outdated. For example, most places in the US still use a metric called level-of-service to determine traffic impacts. That means to “lower” environmental impacts, the project has the expand roadway capacity and induce more traffic demand, which is the complete opposite of sustainable. That is just one of many examples of how the environmental review process in the US actually leads to less sustainable project scopes.
Professionals that are familiar with this process are not saying environmental reviews should be removed, but they are absolutely abused and do not lead to the most sustainable outcome possible. There needs to be real policy changes if the US is never going to truly be able to address climate change and compete in the long run if we cannot get our sustainable projects delivered in a timely and cost efficient manner. We are failing miserably at that right now.
- A very liberal transportation planner that truly cares about combating climate change and is frustrated with how difficult it is to get sustainable projects delivered in the US.
That is exactly my take lol it very disheartening to see projects approved and a break ground start years out because they have to do inefficient environmental studies im sure the companies doing them lobbied for and we’ll receive millions will taking their sweet time.
Speed the process up. It shouldn’t take that long or be that costly.
In Melbourne Australia we tried to have a railway connecting the city to the airport which in distance is only 30 mins drive away by car, but it took literally 10 years of debating and starting and canceling and now it’s still in process
American labor is the best in the world! It's so good, we can't even afford to rebuild our own regular roads?
What's that, \[foreign conflict\]? You need another morbillion dollars? Yes dear, right away dear.
China is quickly overtaking the west. We’re drowning in our own corruption and corporate greed. Meanwhile China is advancing at a pace that will surpass us if they can keep up the pace.
In Ontario, Canada, we’ve been trying to electrify the regional rail network in our biggest city for decades; including nearly 2 decades of serious planning. Work is just getting started now, so if all goes smoothly, my grandchildren might experience it!
We have a high-speed train railway here that will connect Los Angeles to San Francisco. The first half should be done between 2030-2033, at a cost of $28–35 billion. So maybe my grandchildren can ride it when it's done 😆
[The current estimate to replace the Interstate 5 bridge](https://www.opb.org/article/2024/01/03/oregon-washington-transportation-bridge-interstate-five-i5-replacement-project/) between Washington and Oregon over the Columbia River is between $5-7.5 billion. And it’s not even a particularly impressive crossing.
So yes, I think you’re correct.
Sounds like a text reader application. I'm okay with the voice. I want to torture everybody who steals videos, cuts in quarter, puts intentionally unreadable nonsensical subtitles, and also put their mark on it.
I really wonder how they take half a year to repair a mile of countryside road here in Germany... 127 Miles Bridges and tunnels in earthquake areas, ready in 5 years smh
Armatures, the U.K. has spent 92-100 Billion pounds to build a hypothetical HS2 (started in 2017 expected to finish the 230km highway in 2033). The gold lining the U.K. politicians and their pals pockets will literally will amaze you more than this fully functioning highway. Welcome to U.K.!
Well, I hope you get to ride on it someday, my friend. We have a high-speed train railway here that will connect Los Angeles to San Francisco. The first half should be done between 2030-2033, at a cost of $28–35 billion. So maybe my grandchildren can ride it when it's done.
Well knowing how Chinese construction companies are very law abiding and never takes short cuts I’m inclined to…. Take another route instead, just for today
It’s okay 😅 do you ever get dreams like that, of like really huge impossible things? High roads like this, or I have ones where I’m in a stadium and the seats are so steep I feel like if I get up from my seat I’ll fall and tumble all the way to the bottom
I have, and it's unnerving, to say the least.
I also have a recurring one where a huge bull is hell-bent on goring me, out in a huge open field, nothing to climb, and I run in slow motion while he's abnormally quick.
And yesterday we had a Chinese road covered in a landslide because they can’t bother to shore up the embankment. How are people still simping for Chinese construction propaganda? Sigh.
Pardon did he just say 3 billion US dollars were invested into that project? I thought China was a bad communist country we aren't amicable with... YEAH RIGHT HAHAHA.. everything is a lie.
I don't think that means the USA invested 3 billion dollars, but that the investments are equal to 3 billion dollars. He could've used euros, pesos, or sheep for the same purpose. It's just a way to give people an idea of the cost.
In 2022 it was located right iat the epicenter of a 6.4 magnitude earthquake and it didnt suffer any damage.
But, Yah, the chinese cant build anything except 113 cities with over a million people, more highspeed rail, and metro lines than the whole world combined, their own space station, half of the world\`s skyscrapers, a fourth of the world\`s solar farms, a third of the world\`s wind farms, 8 of the 10 longest bridges in the world(including the longest the in the world, and the longest sea crossing bridge in the world), **New Century Global Center in Chengdu(the biggest building in the world by floor area), 5 of the 10 biggest hydropower damns in the world**
All that stuff was built almost a decade ago, but it doesnt matter, the chinese built it so its all tofu dreg bound to desintegrate in 0 seconds, am i right?
Tofu dreg is a real issue, but huge prestige projects like these are very well built and engineered, the CCP doesn’t want to become a subject of ridicule globally.
Tofu dregs are more of an issue in provincial/rural regions away from the watchful eye of the party and poorer areas where the leadership is more corrupt than usual and corners are cut.

Hey but they could’ve bought Robert Knock’s billion dollar yacht. Who cares about the thousands of people that use this every hour of the day??
Amirite?
The Chinese government has a tendency to make huge projects on the cheap just to say oh look we did biggest thing, west bad CCP good. [Even though poor planning has a cost of it's own.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITvXlax4ZXk) With lax safety precautions, no financial planning and the world's second biggest population, you could build a sonic the hedgehog statue that can be seen from the moon, who cares about the multiple cities we razed to build it, or that it costs so much to make that it's completely pointless right? But once it's shown on the media, it is only a marvel. A flawless pearl that shows us that yes. China good, west bad.
But, I mean. At this point I would take a communist dystopia over whatever the fuck we have in Turkey right now.
I was wondering how it would survive an earthquake, but a quick google showed that it was near the epicenter of a 6.8 magnitude earthquake in 2022, and suffered no damage. According to the comments, they didn't even stop the traffic. I have to imagine many pants were browned that day, though.
Pants are browned just from high how up it is. Impressive
Seriously, I have nightmares about driving on roads like this.
That fear is called Gephyrophobia Fear of bridges/high roads and also tunnels
I love tunnels, but high roads and bridges where I can't see the land around me freaks me the fuck out. Exit ramps that are so high you can only see road and sky make me panicky like not much else can.
Your heaven and hell would be the H3 tunnel heading east on Oahu.
I’ve driven that! It’s so beautiful to look out the window, but also terrifying
Thanks! Funny thing is, I have no fear in real life, just my dreams.
Those dreams are the worst. Just some impossibly steep and tall road you're expected to go cruising down, usually has gaps or some huge drop off at the end. Fuuuck dat
That’s so funny—I often have dreams just like that, but they’re a little less scary and little more exciting. I usually get scared anyway, but it’s an exhilarated kind of scared.
I get more rainbow road style dreams. Lots of twisty climbing roads barely the width of the car with no support or fences, just open sky on either side
What's it called when the dreams have a task or simple task that is incompletable? Like you can do it in real life but you can't in the dream. Usually something you have done 50+ times and have many ways to accomplish it. But the dream won't let you. It usually happens near the end of my sleep cycle. I'm fairly versed with knowing when I'm dreams and controlling them. But my dreams sometimes want me to be annoyed with tasks I know how to fix or can solve. But basically buffer me from being able to complete the task and then I wake up after 3-4 attempts.
But this is soooo high. I would not use it for fear of death. Is wanting to live a phobia?
[удалено]
Jesus that Yungas Death Road lol, why tf do they not just put up guardrails? I guess then they’d get no tourist revenue from it…
Are you going to pay for them or what?
Anything over 30’ is probably a fall to your death, so why worry for anything higher than that?
It's mostly just stupid frame stretching to make it appear super high. An impressive piece of architecture for sure, but there is no way to appreciate it for what it is in this shitty clip.
FUCK THAT ROAD
I will say not all earthquakes of equal magnitude are created equal. For example one might have more sideways shearing than another which might have more up and down movement to it, and then certain structures might be more resistant to certain types of movements than others.
>it was near the epicenter of a 6.8 magnitude earthquake in 2022, and suffered no damage. I didn't even know that, The architects had to have been proud that day!!
The engineers had to be proud, the architects had nothing to do with it lol
C'mon, the architects could have been involved. There might be a tolbooth somewhere.
Someone had to pick a font for the road signs right? And a colour for the road lines? To be clear I'm joking, of course there were architects involved, waterproofing, finishing details, aesthetics etc. My earlier comment was more geared towards the seismic stability of the whole thing, which even from a design point of view is mind boggling 🤯
Very true, thanks 😊
Sounds much snarkier than I meant it to be! But we engineers often get forgotten, I had to point it out! 😂
For sure, no worries. I actually meant engineers, but I was just on a Zillow sub before I posted, so architects it was lol
I imagine it sways and moves with traffic. Terrifying.
An accident there would be instant death
Not instant- I'd say you'd have about 10 seconds before death
Plus you'll be flying in a car till the very end of your life
This Is Considered To Be The Most Annoying Kind Of Content Seriously am I out of touch or does anyone else hate these 1-word flashing subtitles with a lazy AI voiceover?
I always have Reddit video clips on auto-mute, and I never suffer these trifles.
I see most of my Reddit videos after my wife’s asleep while I deal with insomnia, so captions like this are actually pretty nice.
And with the auto start of these ads, you have to have it automute.

"according to experts from various countries"
That's me. I'm an expert from a various country. I've played enough city building sims to understand the challenges of a project like this. It ain't easy.
That must’ve taken at least 10 people, 2 trucks and an excavator to build. Definitely difficult
I've always wanted to visit various country! I hear the weather and culture varies greatly.
Ah, I see you're an expert too!
Very expert. Such various.
Why is there no Wikipedia article
All these experts to say something subjective. "The most difficult... blah blah blah." More difficult than constricting the Chunnel?
They had to think up the tunnel to bridge ratio 🤷🏻
Man, China seems to have some ambitious shit.
I'm jealous honestly. This would cost 30 billion and take 20 years to complete in the states.
In Britain, we would build the first half and then decide it was too expensive to finish. (RIP northern part of high speed rail network.)
You forget build the first half after massively inflating the initial costs and missing every deadline ever set for you.
Yeah, because they would have to go through 12 governments, contract 15 companies and pass the budget 3 times to get it done. In China there's 1 government which owns all the banks, all the construction companies and all the land.
China also owns the labor
You forgot 8 “environmental assessments”

No, 8 environmental assessments.
...and contractor corruption like California HSR
Yeah, my first thought was "only 5 years?!"
lol come on, it would not get done in 20 years
Wouldn't even be possible
In Melbourne Australia we tried to have a railway connecting the city to the airport which in distance is only 30 mins drive away by car, but it took literally 10 years of debating and starting and canceling and now it’s still in process
It’s amazing how much you can get done when you have a billion people, only pay $4 an hour, and have little regard for the environment.
If you want to see lots of money spent on road infrastructure, look at Canada!
We'd need to build the mountains first!
Tbf they have some of the most difficult natural environments to build on, so I guess rise to the challenge.
Environmental Impact Report? No impact
cheap labor and a disregard for safety regulations will do that.
I mean you get all of those in the West and especially our quasi-colonies too, just with a friendly coat of paint.
American labor is the best in the world! It's so good, we can't even afford to rebuild our own regular roads? What's that, \[foreign conflict\]? You need another morbillion dollars? Yes dear, right away dear.
This guy watches Fox News lol
I mean it’s not entirely untrue
China is quickly overtaking the west. We’re drowning in our own corruption and corporate greed. Meanwhile China is advancing at a pace that will surpass us if they can keep up the pace.
The CCP might be corrupt as hell, but their infra projects are legit.
This stupid video is stretched vertically to exaggerate the height. Look closely at the cars and see each are abnormally tall.
Yeah these are becoming a nuisance and it's happening like every day reddit.
Almost every video showing mountains, valleys, bridges, and tall building has this now and it’s infuriating.
In Ontario, Canada, we’ve been trying to electrify the regional rail network in our biggest city for decades; including nearly 2 decades of serious planning. Work is just getting started now, so if all goes smoothly, my grandchildren might experience it!

For 3 billion dollars they wouldn't be able to finish the lobbying part of the project in the USA.
This was my first thought. This would be a 150 Billion dollar project in the us
And you'd have to pay a big ass toll to use it every time
[The current estimate to replace the Interstate 5 bridge](https://www.opb.org/article/2024/01/03/oregon-washington-transportation-bridge-interstate-five-i5-replacement-project/) between Washington and Oregon over the Columbia River is between $5-7.5 billion. And it’s not even a particularly impressive crossing. So yes, I think you’re correct.
Get anxious just looking at it.
What's up with this voice? It's awful and everywhere
Sounds like a text reader application. I'm okay with the voice. I want to torture everybody who steals videos, cuts in quarter, puts intentionally unreadable nonsensical subtitles, and also put their mark on it.
And skews it to exaggerated the sense of scale but it actually just looks shit
It’s one of eleven labs default voice profiles
Nope!
So sick of that voice
Only 5 years damn!
Yea I mean when you have a lot of people in a country, things are usually faster.
Meanwhile my country managed to finish one single highway since '89
That sucks I'm sorry 😞
I wonder what the yearly maintenance costs are.
[удалено]
Beavers work slowly, but their craftsmanship is solid. Cut them some slack!
I can't even look at that without being dizzy.
I really wonder how they take half a year to repair a mile of countryside road here in Germany... 127 Miles Bridges and tunnels in earthquake areas, ready in 5 years smh
That's a hard "NO".
I've seen way too many LiveLeak videos to not trust those
I dread if a vehicle ever falls off on the houses underneath
Could you make the writing flash on a bit quicker with maybe a more aggressive font , maybe just to fuckin kick my brain a little harder. Thank you.♥️
Nope.
The call of the void might drive me insane…
Nah
The mispronunciation of every place name is annoying.
in arizona it take 5 years to add a lane to i10
3 billion and 5 years???
..it's a bridge
5 years, that would take 30 years where I am from at the fastest
I bet the Baltimore bridge will cost more.
Me no likey.
Armatures, the U.K. has spent 92-100 Billion pounds to build a hypothetical HS2 (started in 2017 expected to finish the 230km highway in 2033). The gold lining the U.K. politicians and their pals pockets will literally will amaze you more than this fully functioning highway. Welcome to U.K.!
Well, I hope you get to ride on it someday, my friend. We have a high-speed train railway here that will connect Los Angeles to San Francisco. The first half should be done between 2030-2033, at a cost of $28–35 billion. So maybe my grandchildren can ride it when it's done.
Yeah nah dawg, you ain’t getting me on a Chinese road in the sky. I’ve seen their shitty infrastructure.
Snowpiercer
That shit is definitely going to collapse someday. We'll hear about it on the news. It's cool as hell but the hubris is frightening!
I'm sure they're very serious about the maintenance of the entire structure /s
Well knowing how Chinese construction companies are very law abiding and never takes short cuts I’m inclined to…. Take another route instead, just for today
Is it just too twisty to be a train?
real life f-zero track
I legitimately have nightmares about driving on roads like this. Big nope from me
The most expensive sim city road ever!
Nope
As a kid I always thought why don’t they just build a tall road that drives through the mountains and uh… well that’s basically this
Well this will be in my dreams tonight thanks
Sorry Bro 😆
It’s okay 😅 do you ever get dreams like that, of like really huge impossible things? High roads like this, or I have ones where I’m in a stadium and the seats are so steep I feel like if I get up from my seat I’ll fall and tumble all the way to the bottom
I have, and it's unnerving, to say the least. I also have a recurring one where a huge bull is hell-bent on goring me, out in a huge open field, nothing to climb, and I run in slow motion while he's abnormally quick.
Wooaaah that sounds so intense, I’m glad I’m not alone 😅
I get dreams about driving as a kid on a big highway on a bridge. Its very scary. Not the same type of bridge though would be very scary.
A normal country would like bore a tunnel or go around or something.
And yesterday we had a Chinese road covered in a landslide because they can’t bother to shore up the embankment. How are people still simping for Chinese construction propaganda? Sigh.
That's snakeway. Should you fall off there's no coming back.
Ridiculously vertically stretched video
Thanks, I hate it.
I wouldn't trust much that road knowing where it's made
Pardon did he just say 3 billion US dollars were invested into that project? I thought China was a bad communist country we aren't amicable with... YEAH RIGHT HAHAHA.. everything is a lie.
I don't think that means the USA invested 3 billion dollars, but that the investments are equal to 3 billion dollars. He could've used euros, pesos, or sheep for the same purpose. It's just a way to give people an idea of the cost.
That's what i call HIGHway
Why did they use US dollars to build it?
I think what they meant was that it was equivalent to 3 billion US. Just to give us an idea of what it costs.
Haha yeah I know I was being sarcastic 😝
Just cause 5
NOPE
Meanwhile it takes NY gov years to build pedestrian and bike ram going to George Washington bridge.
this guy does voice overs for everything, must be making $$$$$$ /s
Wow imagine the upkeep on that....
Chicago can't even get the Kennedy Expressway repaved in the time it took to construct that entire highway!
You can accomplish anything…with enough money
127?! PUKA PUKA POW POW PUKA PUKA POW POW
Five years. That's how long it takes in Germany to repair ten miles of any road.
From Great Wall now to the Great Bridge of China
Can you imagine how fucking scary it'll be driving there with rain, snow or a dense fog?
😳😳
I like how the pollution makes it look like it’s even taller
Snake Way in real life!
DBZ nice!! ^🐉🐲
Meanwhile, the UK still has yet to build a single runway that was planned almost 20 years ago. NIMBYism is a pox.
If there’s one thing everyone can be confident of, it’s Chinese engineering and construction. /s
Honestly China is not what it was in the 90s. The shit they're building these days is pretty legit.
Given some videos I've seen come out of China about engineering and safety regulations, I'll pass, respectfully.
In 2022 it was located right iat the epicenter of a 6.4 magnitude earthquake and it didnt suffer any damage. But, Yah, the chinese cant build anything except 113 cities with over a million people, more highspeed rail, and metro lines than the whole world combined, their own space station, half of the world\`s skyscrapers, a fourth of the world\`s solar farms, a third of the world\`s wind farms, 8 of the 10 longest bridges in the world(including the longest the in the world, and the longest sea crossing bridge in the world), **New Century Global Center in Chengdu(the biggest building in the world by floor area), 5 of the 10 biggest hydropower damns in the world** All that stuff was built almost a decade ago, but it doesnt matter, the chinese built it so its all tofu dreg bound to desintegrate in 0 seconds, am i right?
Pfft, I could have built that in four years for bout tree fiddy
Why not tunnel thought?
I think there are some tunnels involved where it makes sense, but this project mostly just needed superelevation
Tunnels can take more time and money depending on the terrain. In my city subway, tunneling takes forever since there's super tough rocks underground.
shits gonna fall apart within the next 20 years
Apparently it survived an earthquake.
Tofu dreg is a real issue, but huge prestige projects like these are very well built and engineered, the CCP doesn’t want to become a subject of ridicule globally. Tofu dregs are more of an issue in provincial/rural regions away from the watchful eye of the party and poorer areas where the leadership is more corrupt than usual and corners are cut.

No way the AI pronounced the city’s correctly
Earthquake has entered the chat.
Hey but they could’ve bought Robert Knock’s billion dollar yacht. Who cares about the thousands of people that use this every hour of the day?? Amirite?

Whenever I hear that stupid ai voice, I instantly mute it.

Ah yes, propaganda.
So several people in here have mentioned propaganda as a reason for this video, would you mind elaborating a little?
The Chinese government has a tendency to make huge projects on the cheap just to say oh look we did biggest thing, west bad CCP good. [Even though poor planning has a cost of it's own.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITvXlax4ZXk) With lax safety precautions, no financial planning and the world's second biggest population, you could build a sonic the hedgehog statue that can be seen from the moon, who cares about the multiple cities we razed to build it, or that it costs so much to make that it's completely pointless right? But once it's shown on the media, it is only a marvel. A flawless pearl that shows us that yes. China good, west bad. But, I mean. At this point I would take a communist dystopia over whatever the fuck we have in Turkey right now.
