Here's The Weirdly Mesmerising Sight Of 116 Excavators Tearing Up An Overpass
The main section of this overpass in Nanchang, China was efficiently taken down in just one night using an army of diggers
This entire 24-year-old overpass was removed causing just 56 hours of traffic disruption, with the main part of the structure torn down in one night thanks to a massive deployment of diggers.
Impressive, no?

this project would take years where i live lol
Here in Austin, that job would never have been started until it was confirmed that the new road will be a toll road. How ever, for months upon months leading up to the start, they will go ahead and shut down lanes and post construction zone speed limits.

this dude at 0:47 is rocking some great workmen boots
It would be 10 years in the Philippines
Well, if there’s something China is also good at besides its cooking, it’s now demolition. Perhaps other work in other places can’t be done like this because it would probably cost too much. Speed=more $$
48 hours just for demolition? Top gear dug up and rapaved an entire road in 24 hours.
Dat’s a very long centipede
In Germany they would have torn down part by part and build a new one on the side at the same time and then torn that one down later just so that some few cars could pass trough in walking tempo, this in total would then have taken between 3-15 years since construction workers work in teams of max 3 people per 100m construction site if its on important roads and work one half shift per day. They also section off the entire future construction area 3 months before starting the work and leave it there 5 months after finishing.
