I don’t believe there was a hole dug out..just two high points connected to bridge the gap

@@Imanne87 yes to ease the flow of water in the area

Step 3 - write invoices for millions ....

Watch the video more carefully... They built a ramp to reach higher ground, and in that ramp they left the hole for a road underneath it. Obviously no government is so stupid that they are going to create a hole to just for the sake of building a bridge. So it's a smartassy nonsense comment.

But why?....why dont just build roade on top?....this loook complicate....

Maximus Suriya Two main reasons: The soil on top will have vegetation and living things in it so needs to be replaced. Also loads from the traffic will need need to be disturbed into the ground. Therefore, certain materials with certain characteristics of strength and drainage will layered and compacted. This is called base course and and sub-base course. So if you would just place asphalt on the ground alone the weaker parts of the soil will settle and dip, causing cracking in the asphalt.

Yes, those machines move so fast, wow !

Amazing amount of work and also an amazing lack of information. . Question one. Which Continent?

The dislikes probably came from Greens voters. 🧐

@@andrewwilde3389 Australia. About halfway between Ballarat and Melbourne, to be more exact. 🙂

Maybe you'd prefer to leave the civilization men built, and go live in an untouched forest somewhere, no roads, no amenities, just you, a cave, and all that "pretty landscape"?

@@GlobalistJuice Damn, that is one bitter comment. When's the last time you got laid? Seems like you need it

They could have planted many trees there but they didn’t!

Terraforming sounds easy but...

Because it is.

Italic it also gives me a headache

O_O

True

Bro now it scares me lmao

I watched this video earlier and I didn't notice that I'm playing the video at 0.5 speed. I just realized that that is the reason that It's a little bit scary HAHAHA.

Lorenzo Gabriel Tan To me, to my eyes, it’s kinda sharp...

it does fit the video :)

Good observation. It is actually in the video description. It took approx. 2 years to build.

@@theedgeeonfx Cool

quite...

Let's see....they drive on the left side of the road. It's in the southern hemisphere. By the flat terrain it doesn't look like South Africa or New Zealand...so it has to be Australia.

Harald Olsen I'm sure I went to school with him. I don't know what Anthony is up to today though.

Anthonys Cutting is a section of the highway between Bacchus Marsh and Melton West, which are suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Highway_(Victoria)#Anthony.27s_Cutting_Realignment

Somewhere they can afford nice roads... ._.

You mean psychic....

you can slow it down in settings,i tried 0.5 music is weird

It says in the description that they used three cameras to film on the site. If you look at the surrounding landmarks you'll see that the three cameras never move from their positions. They just change which of the cameras are being viewed during the video to give different perspectives of the work.

I was currious like hell from the beginning.Thanks.

Just near my place - between Melton and Bacchus Marsh in Victoria, Australia. The old highway winds through the hills and was dangerous for trucks, etc. This new bit is great. Part of the Western Highway to Ballarat from Melbourne.

+Shushupe pytón I'm pretty certain the composer is Phillip Glass, at least that cuts down your search to one person.

Thank you

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Freeway_(Victoria)#Anthony.27s_Cutting_Realignment The old route had a very sharp bend and steep gradients and was not of motorway standard, by the looks of things. A new alignment that eliminated those issues was constructed next to the old one.

Jacob Dicker Thanks! That's really comprehensive, and it wasn't clear why they were doing it from the video.

I travelled the old stretch every day and every second day I saw the scars of an accident . I myself skidded off the old road in the rain .

Xaiano it should of been done 50 yrs ago

to make you ask questions that looked like 2 years of work done in less then 3 minutes

Dw, in California the first eight seconds would be the first eight decades

There's a project near me where I swear they forget what they're supposed to be doing. It's been going on for so long and it looks like it could be finished and reopened in weeks (it's been like this for months), but then they start doing something else.

Who knows............but considering certain parts of Koyaanisqatsi and Powaaqatsi I would dare say that it's a piece by Philip Glass.

Its called sh*tty music!

2 years. 9 months ahead of schedule.

@@gwaeron8630 nice!!!

What's that?

@@pranavnaxane2252 Generally it's a steel plate roughly 3 x 3(1 meter x 1 meter) or so with a screw on adapter welded to the center to hold a section of 4 inch (100 mm) pipe. First off preliminary survey gathers the strata data to determine the foundation for the fill. As construction has begun, you place fabric like you see at 0:50 in the video than place 2 or more or whatever the survey data recommends of the steel plate on the fabric. So you get the elevation of the plate and screw in the first pipe section and get that elevation. Then as you add soil to the fill, you add a section of the pipe as needed until you get to the top of the fill, getting the elevation of each joint of pipe. The original survey data will recommend a time period or if you should add extra fill(surcharge) to assure that the weight of the fill has settled. I brought this up because of the existing water hazard My first bridge as part of the site survey team, didn't have the recommendations, so the contractor built the fill up (Over an existing road) and as we got near the top we noticed all of the surrounding trees were leaning and found our concrete survey monuments had moved roughly 10 feet or so. and the fencing was distorted from moving. So, Geo came back out and rebored and determined we needed to take the fill back down and put in Settlement gauges and build up the fill with a 10 foot surcharge and let it sit for roughly 3 months then check the elevation. After the bridge was opened the end bent still settled roughly 10 inches and caused a slight thump in the middle of the bridge. 30 years later they got rid of the thump. That was back in 1983.

2.82 minutes.

They passed CoronaVirus round the world in similar time too! 😎

If you start driving now, you could be there in 5 or 6 days.

@@machineshopinc.6783 😄

Just shy of that yes - about 20 months IIRC.

Old highway was steep and twisty - lots of accidents - mostly trucks. It was long overdue when built.
