Daytime panorama of the Nanpu Bridge complex connecting the Luwan part of Shanghai with the Pudong area on the far side of the Huangpu River.
I was glad to have found this particular angle that, while partially obstructed, let's you see just how massive the onramp and the connecting elevated highways are. Such highway road projects are often associated with Los Angeles and it's car-centric cityscape but surprisingly enough it's urban China where you can find even bigger roadworks.
I encourage you to zoom into this image: below the circling onramp is a complete bus station and a park. The connecting elevated highways run above city streets with up to ten lanes, which are impressively capable in their own right. The bridge itself is tall enough to allow large container vessels as well as cruise ships to pass through.
Visit China and you will see such grand as well as small construction projects everywhere. Especially housing is being built at frantic paces as the population increasingly moves into the large cities.

Vanwege de berging van een ketelwagen in Breda was de Brabantroute tot ca. 11 uur gestremd op zondag 12 juni 2016. Hierdoor werden een aantal goederentreinen omgeleid via Gouda-Utrecht, waaronder de NuMu shuttle 41587 van TXL. Met de helaas saai logoloze 189286 als trekkracht passeert de redelijk beladen trein in een grijs Geldermalsen op weg richting Venlo en verder.
Alexandre Gustave Eiffel's students designed the bridge which was completed in France before being assembled on site by convicts in 1909.

Originally opened in 1898, the MBTA's Park Street Station, located under the Boston Common, had retained much of its original look and infrastructure throughout the years. The winter of 2015 crippled much of the Commonwealth, rendering the MBTA inoperable, leading to major changes and reinvestments in service not seen in the history of the "T". Years of neglect, and underfunding, had finally reared its ugly head, forcing major capital investments in the system. During December of 2019, the T shut down the red line on weekends to allow crews more work windows to complete projects in a more efficient timeframe utilizing longer work windows. As part of a tour, I donned PPE, and of course my trusted D810, and descended underground for a first hand look at the work. Part professional responsibility at the time, and part personal curiosity, I was able to soak in the sights, sounds, and smells of the crews hard at work. They hauled in tons of new ballast, rails, and ties while electrical crews overhauled overhead lights, track equipment, and a myriad of other dizzying improvements. While I am not necessarily a transit foamer, it's certainly fun to offer this firsthand perspective of what it is like to truly overhaul infrastructure. Tough, dirty, difficult, skilled work being performed in a shower of sparks and roaring of saws to ensure that those who rely on public transit can do just that: rely. Anyways, the red line is technically trains, so enjoy this little interlude from the endless Gevo parade.
