I-75 is being widened through Cincinnati as part of the Mill Creek Expressway project. Crews have began building a new overpass that will connect Martin Luther King Drive directly to Hopple Street, flying over both I-75 and Central Parkway.
Minerals have built up on the walls of the tunnel in the decades since it was built; the formations cast stark shadows in the reflected sunlight. At some points, ground water under pressure from the lake above spurts out of the wall at an angle.

The road seen here is part of a 1.5km relief road which bypasses Bristol Road through parts of Bournbrook and Selly Oak. The roundabout is at a junction with New Fosse Way, leading to / from the new Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
The railway bridge carrying the Cross-City Line, and the carrying aqueduct carrying the Worcester and Birmingham Canal were installed in 2010, with the cutting being excavated afterwards.
A view from the Roosevelt Island tram, the steel trusses of the bridge sweeping across the frame against a sky of soft clouds. The golden structure and the distant towers make the view look sweeping and industrial.

This beautiful historic bridge is located in Camden New Jersey and passes the Delaware River to Philadelphia, PA. These are drone captured images of this beautiful historic bridge as it stands today.
A brand-new Bombardier 5000-series train is about to leave the brand-new Morgan station on the Lake Street Elevated on Chicago's Near West Side. The modernistic glass and steel 'L' stop was built in response to growing redevelopment in the neighborhood, and filled in a rather long stationless gap between Clinton and Ashland.

LITTLE STAR - A TOP SECRET SOVIET MILITARY BASE ON THE COAST OF THE BALTIC SEA
The 32m radio telescope is located in a forest 30 km north of Ventspils, Latvia, on the coast of the Baltic Sea. The whole military base included 3 radio telescopes: 32m, 16m and 8m as well as all the necessary infrastructure for up keeping over 2000 scientists, generals and soldiers with their families (i.e. a kindergarten, school, shops, technical support houses, 4 block houses with 260 flats, post office etc.) in an area over 400ha. The secret code name for this place was “Звёздочка” (a Little Star) and the road going through the town was “Набережная” (Riparian).
VIRAC
Ventspils International Radio Astronomy Centre currently consists of a 32-metre, fully steerable parabolic, centimeter-wave range antenna (RT-32) and a 16-metre diameter antenna (RT-16). It was built by the Russian Navy in late 1960 but the town itself dates from 1946. In 1994, when Russian army pulled out of Latvia, the withdrawing troops poured acid on the telescope's motors, cut all the cables, took away all the documentation and destroyed much of the surrounding infrastructure. Since 1994, the radio telescopes have been repaired.
The largest radio telescope in northern Europe is now used for science:
The detection, analysis and processing satellite images and satellite navigation signals,
Sun observations in microwave range,
Participation into European VLBI (Very Large Base Interferometry) Network,
The research of efficiency of electric drive control and adaptation of antenna control and data registration software of RT-32 for work in EVN,
Finding and observations of space debris,
To monitor the stars for possible signs of intelligent life outside the Solar System.

Seattle's streetcar system uses a grooved rail profile with a flange gap wide enough that even a 26x1.50" bicycle tire drops to the bottom of the slot.
Common tram rail flange gaps range from 35mm to 70mm.
Still, this is narrower than the flange gap on many standard heavy-rail crossings.
With a wide tire like this, the rail slot is only really hazardous when riding nearly parallel to the rails. Even a 45-degree crossing is unlikely to drop into the slot. With narrower tires, however, cyclists need to be careful to cross as nearly perpendicular as possible to avoid sudden loss of control.
The Avenue des Champs Elysées is seen on the evening of the implementation of the curfew at 8 p.m. as part of the measures taken against the coronavirus.

This deck plate girder bridge was built in 1890 by the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad. It continues to carry rail traffic across the Schuylkill River for CSX Transportation. In the background is the 1856-constructed P&R RR Schuylkill River Viaduct, a stone arch bridge.

Reconstructing the Oxford to Bicester line
Reconstructing the Oxford to Bicester line.Wendlebury Farm Level Crossing is the site of the current piling operation along the now (temporarily) disused Oxford-Bicester line. The existing single line has been completely removed, 2km of piling is being added and this crossing removed, to be replaced by a bridge. The trackbed after strengthening will be re-sued for a double track electrified railway as part of the East-West Electric Spine project.
