India is a federal state. No one stopped states from building new cities. If you are indeed Indian you should know that in AP, old govt run by a regional party started buliding a new capital city. The new regional party which succeed it - pulled all the new buildings citing corruption. Then they proposed 4 cities themselves and have not built anything. Central govt cannot decide on building cities , towns in states! If you are referring to new cities being built in Gujarat, they both were projects started by Modi when he was Chief Minister of State. You cannot blame modi for being visionary or for inefficiency of state govt. In Maharashtra, a new city is being planned - hopefully state govt completes it

Buildings randomly collapse, the finished materials are so weak they can be torn apart by a child's bare hands. Traffic gets swallowed up by sink holes or crushed by giant pieces of bridge falling off. Entire cities flood, not due to a disaster level storm but just poor urban planning and infrastructure and nonexistant drainage. And this is just the events in major cities that actually made the news, there's no telling how much has been covered up by the government, or how bad it is in the more rural towns and countryside, which makes up the VAST majority of the country.

It is possible because the "bridge" is a viaduct on land. That means you can work along its entire length anywhere you want simultaneously, as opposed to building something like a suspension bridge where you can only access it from two ends.

[@alexleanh]

True story: In Washington, DC (the capital of the US for those who don't know), we have an overpass bridge that is deteriorating and unsafe (with a D- rating by the ASCE - American Society of Civil Engineers). Chunks of concrete have fallen down to motorists on the road below (you can search for article "Chunk of overpass falls on car in D.C." - Washington Examiner). It took at least 3 years of the infighting bureaucracy... and it is still there without proper repair or replacement. Their final solution is to put up a net under the bridge to catch the fallen chunks of concrete!

[@eugenec7130]

When the video mentioned about how the curvature of the Earth affected the building of long bridges, I was unconvinced. But after thinking for a while, I realized that that is true especially for long bridges above seas and oceans. The surfaces of seas and oceans are curved when we look at a wide area of them. (The same thing is less obvious on land.) How much this curvature affects a bridge is beyond my comprehension but may be of importance to the builders of the bridge. The curvature of the Earth surface is also important in planning the trajectories of satellites, spacecrafts, missiles and the flights of high speed airplanes.

[@jasonlee4267]

The earths curvature is no different to building a curved wall with square bricks, ok thats a crude analogy but the point being that the curve is so subtle with land measurements being taken at every single pillar, it isn't exactly difficult for professional surveyors to account for with minor adjustments along the way. I mean each section of the bridge is probably only a few hundred feet long at best, and the curvature of the earth is usually visible from about 5km, meaning that if you are stood on the shore it would take 5km out to sea before ships begun to disappear over the horizon, so unless a single span is more then 5km in length the curvature wont affect any structure, it just means more readings are required to make sure each piece of the bridge fits the last.

[@ronjos]

Where I live in Lafayette, Indiana, it took 3 years to rebuild one half of a bridge over a river and the length of the bridge was about 1/3 rd of a mile. And I bet it cost a lot more if you calculate the cost per mile. These days India is building huge projects even faster and cheaper than China.

China is actually a beautiful country, geographically speaking. This 163KM long bridge/flyover Highway seems unnecessary and even impractical though. You wouldn't want to be stuck on this bridge if your car had any issues and you needed to stop. It is still a remarkable feat of engineering but, I seriously wish the CCP did more to help people with their actual issues and less with optics in mind.

Have you been there? As a Civil engineer who have VISITED the places mentioned, Elevated Structures are the BEST solution given the Dense Population there. As for Cars.lorries.etc breaking down ... There are EMERGENCY "LayBy AREAS" which allow for such emergencies. And their Monitoring, Evaluation and Response personnel are Second to None.

[@ShubhamShubhra]

@@sunshinesun121 I haven't been there and I am only pointing out the logistical challenges. Even with lay byes and multiple exits, this long stretch of a bridge is going to be challenging in dense fog, earthquakes and extreme weather. Remarkable engineering but, one would have to carefully plan everything including fuel economy. Even more so in the case of electric vehicles.
