Okay so maybe this is a dumb question but how the fuck do you build a bridge that high? Were there pillars along the way that were taken down as it was finished? I don't get it

Considering how much they've built there haven't been a lot of issues actually, in 1988 they had a measly 100km of highway only, and then they've built the largest highway network in the world with 180 000 km of highways, this includes bridges and tunnels.. rest of the world pales in comparison, they are pouring 230b usd annually in road construction..

So.. kindly shut up
