This is a bridge being built in some other country — a place that apparently still possesses the kind of can-do moxie we had in America until we discovered Cheetos, outsourcing and narcissism. Look at how fast everything happens, even the people frolicking on the silky black smooth roadway when it’s done.
Also, one from Scotland with more technical detail and a poppier soundtrack:

I suspect it has more to do with legal red tape and nimbyism than Cheetos.

This is the Woronora Bridge in the southern suburbs of Sydney (NSW, Australia).
Despite what the video shows, infrastructure cost and (lack of) speed in NSW is notoriously bad. So bad in fact that when the Aust national government earlier this year gave out “stimulus” payments to states for infrastructure spending, NSW got almost nothing because all the project plans were so badly prepared, absurdly expensive or unlikely to ever reach completion.
