Here's The Weirdly Mesmerising Sight Of 116 Excavators Tearing Up An Overpass

The main section of this overpass in Nanchang, China was efficiently taken down in just one night using an army of diggers

This entire 24-year-old overpass was removed causing just 56 hours of traffic disruption, with the main part of the structure torn down in one night thanks to a massive deployment of diggers.

Impressive, no?

So 2 days, and a quarter of a day of traffic disruption? Not bad…

They would have never started in Australia because there will have been a change of government and they would have cancelled the funding for no reason.

Exactly what I was thinking. And four about four of those months there’ll be a temporary speed limit, a bunch of cones but no work started…

And the whole time they have a 25 sign and no end road work sign, then when they’re done they pack up everything except said 25 sign until about 3 months later #justaustralianthings

That’s some quick work. Meanwhile in the western world, in the same amount of time for the same amount of money there’s be about 6 guys, 5 of which standing around and one of which sitting in a truck waiting for the other 5 to take their fingers out and start working

In Costa Rica bridges don’t get destroyed, they get “repaired” ad nauseam
