And how long did it take to assemble and disassemble the bridge? Maybe much longer than the reconstruction itself.

Excellent idea. Very innovative and gets rid of all the angry, pissed off motorists who want to run through the construction zones...and wont have to have the police around to keep an eye on things, either, hopefully. The workers dont have to worry about their lives being threatened by people who drive wrecklessly and might kill them, win-win-win.

Nice idea, but how secure is this? If traffic is driving on an elevated piece of road and they would somehow get involved in an accident, they could much more easily fall onto the other side of the road. Also, the workers have to work in less optimal conditions I would presume. You can see they have to work around those pillars of the overpass bridge (the tandem roller has to go around those pillars to work on the edges). Later on you can see that one of the workers has to duck in order not to bump his head. Apart from this specific solution, I was curious about the personal protection gear. I was missing the ear protection and they were walking in the asphalt and tar fumes quite a bit. Are there no regulations on what to wear?

Sinceramente no veo que sea practico por el elevado coste. Me llama más la atención ver que hay obreros conduciendo el vehículo sin casco con la cabeza casi dando en el techo, o los vapores del asfalto caliente mas concentrados al ser un espacio mas cerrado...

Dumpers de obra retirando el material de fresado? Gente barriendo una junta a mano? Prácticamente pincelando a mano una junta longitudinal? Y sobre todo ¿montando todo esto para hacer solo la mitad del carril y supongo que en una longitud muy limitada? Desde el desconocimiento, dudo que merezca la pena un sobrecoste, aparentemente, tan elevado en una actuación tan limitada con el único fin, de no afectar al tránsito cuando realmente sí se le está afectando.

Christopher Glass have you seen this around? Great engineering

Everyone keeps talking about the expense. What is the expense of traffic congestion? Road closure, detour routes, increased travel time, what if there is a breakdown or accident in the open lane. What about safety? These folks are not in danger of being hit by a passing car. I think it is very innovative, toad we can't find anyone to think like that here.

The useful application of this idea should be sold worldwide as traffic congestion cost the economy each country millions every day in lost working hours, delay goods and the frustration of billions of commuters all over the world. I personally think that this should use in every country as soon as possible as it would save money and driver frustration which would be good for there mental wellbeing before they get to work and feeling stressed before they even start work becoming more relaxed before starting work will help peoples mental health wellbeing and I think MIND and other people that deal with wellbeing should campaign to ensure that governing bodies bring it in as standard practice worldwide

great approach to meet several requirements at the same time 👍🏾
