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.

    The Phu My Bridge is the first major privately-funded project of its kind in the country. It was designed and constructed by BBBH, a consortium of Germany’s Bilfinger Berger Civil and the Australian company, Baulderstone Hornibrook. Their client was the Phu My Bridge Corporation, a private Vietnamese group with a 30-year license to operate the bridge. Drawing on their previous experience building large-scale cable-stayed bridges in Vietnam and around the world, BBBH was able to complete the project months ahead of schedule and within budget. Construction started in February 2007, and the bridge was opened to traffic in September 2009. The Phu My Bridge now stands as a new landmark in the city, one that connects Vietnam’s present to its exciting future on the world stage.
    The video was produced by Créa TV, pioneer of time lapse technology in Vietnam, as introduction of director Othello Khanh’s Vietnam 2020 film project.
