6176 - Highway in the sky

So, the comedian didn't go over very well. How about a Chinese highway in the sky?

It makes our H-3 look puny by comparison!

By the people who brought you the great wall!

Wouldn't want to go over the edge on that one.

Wow!

Shaw Kenawe said...

Amazing engineering feat!

Cloudia - I don't know of any in the US that are that tall for that long.

Deb - You would have a long time to think about your demise.

John - Yes.

Shaw - Chinese engineering. I hope it doesn't collapse.

COULD they have made that highway lower to the ground? Is it just a case of show-offy engineering? Not that there's anything particularly wrong with that, but I can see where such a drive might give you nosebleeds.

Mike said...

Kirk - It would definitely be a test for people with a fear of heights.

I couldn't tell from the video, but the road looked perfectly flat everywhere. They must have raised it up enough to account for the mountains?

Quite an amazing feat of engineering!
Here in Adelaide "we" can't build even twenty metres of on-the-ground freeway without something going wrong and needing to be repaired! Before it is even opened for use!
I think the government tries to save money by choosing the lowest bid for the job and then the construction company tries to save money by cutting corners.

Mike said...

Kathy - They must have.

River - Ah the lowest bidder. Not the best lowest, just the lowest.

They're just trying to show off their building skills for a better positioning if they get a chance to bid on Der Furor's wall.
