Super Roads: Extreme Construction Works | Documentary | Genie Francais

Roads: Cars in the millions traverse thousands of kilometers daily, interconnected on an extensive network spanning an entire nation.
The well-developed French roads are considered among the finest globally. Take the A40, an awe-inspiring accomplishment that demanded construction in extreme circumstances. Initially conceived, the Paris Ring Road appeared to be an almost daring and adventurous endeavor. How did the laborers manage to carve a path encircling the inner city of Paris? And how did they construct a bridge above the railway tracks amidst the heart of the French capital?
Let's not forget the Ring Road's path beneath the Prince's Stadium. Moreover, we have the A10, stretching between Paris and Bordeaux. This highway claims the title as France's longest, designed to withstand all weather conditions. The A10, A40, and Paris Ring Road, each setting remarkable records, stand as astounding examples of civil engineering accomplishments.

And there I was thinking it was only the Chinese that could build eye-watering infrastructure. Of that lot of mega motorways the Paris Ring Road is by far the most impressive in terms of logistics, vision and seemingly impossible obstacles, but the A40 also had some challenges to overcome.

Half the size of a super carrier’s hanger deck. Yeah, but how much is that in giraffes ?

[@rhysthompson1961]

So over there you have 'these' highways and motorways. Come to Australia and you'll see a few highways that are nearly the length of the entire European continent. The Stuart Highway, for example, goes for about 3000km straight through the centre of our country, connecting Darwin in the Northern Territory to Adelaide in South Australia. 3 day, 2 night trip if you're counting fuel stops, food, etc

[@simondahl5437]

“Highway” by Australian standards is a two lane road. Not much of an accomplishment…

[@Coralalal]

we call your "highways" or "motorways" a farm to market road or county road

[@francisleveque2939]

Comparer une ” autoroute ” australienne toute droite et l’autoroute des ”géants ”au dessus de Nantua est vraiment une réflexion de ”gamin ”😅! Allez ”petit ” change ta couche , mouche ton nez et au lit ! 😢 Là ont parle de grands travaux 😂 VELOMO

We can moan as to the number of night-time and weekend road closures in the UK (including me) but that is primarily due to the sharp rise in traffic upon the UK road network

[@terencenxumalo1159]

good work

[@douglachman7330]

Get e tags to pay tolls with, that automates the payment of vehicle tolls. Good to see some investment in infrastructure in France.

meanwhile 2000 years old roman aquaducts, viaducts and bridges still exist. the glazing level is insane.

Howcome there's no highways into Breton? 😮

[@etorepugatti9196]

Hi, there's a network of express roads around Brittany a two to three ways in each direction limited at 110 km/h but tool free.

[@gijskramer1702]

​@@etorepugatti9196its because of an old (medieval) agreement between some religious people and a king iirc. No one can toll the roads in bretagne

[@etorepugatti9196]

wish Nashville Tn had a ring roads expwy inside the city limits

[@markfitzsimmons7544]

No doubt. Except for maybe 2 a.m. on Christmas eve there is always a traffic jam somewhere around nashville!

[@phuturephunk]

You do. The problem is there's no real other reinforcing transit to take drivers off the road. Actually Nashville has a double ring, one interstate and one state highway. Actually it's kind of sort of a triple ring if you take I 440 into account. Once again, this stuff works in Paris and France in general because there is a huge cohort of the population in their city cores that do not drive on a normal basis. Even Paris, which has hefty road infrastructure and a lot of drivers...has one of the premier transit systems on the planet. That's what's missing from most American cities.

Wtf are you to even saying that!? Also did you even propose a solution to it?? Lol!!! The movement of people also polluting! So we should stop moving!? What about foods that some countries can't grow at home!?

[@danielkithya8190]

All these funds for constructing such infrustrucuture emanated from former african french colonies. Some of those countries have no roads. But Now the wheel is turning aginst the coloniser as the colonised wakes up from colonial hypnosis.

[@elmirio8500]

Why is a tunnel not "possible" under a railroad track, money(?), certainly technical possible. Those writers need to be more precise, tunnels are even earthquake resistant. While there were some feats, the whole think sounds like French polish.

China Made 10.000 km new highway every year

[@rickykoh3101]

what are french highways and bridges compared to china's....?

[@asyd2905]

French infrastructure were built in the 70s, pioneering civil engineering feats. China’s are much newer and have benefitted from engineering principles and processes already established. There are no comparisons to be made. I’m Chinese. I appreciate that China has stood on the shoulders of other countries’ innovation. China is now spearheading improvements in engineering, too. Other countries will benefit on cumulative advancements made by each countries.

Such a shame that they felt the need to pave over that wonderful green space just for a ring road!

Well what else where they suppose to do

[@fndjfgsdk]

@@Mia-zj3ux Keep the green, add a new railway line and a bike lane. Same capacity

This is nothing campare to what Chinese have build both in china and other countries and idk why is 110km speed in the tunnels is impressive.
