That is what I was also wondering. The working height is very limited, so that excludes any kind of heavy excavation machines or any kind of heavy machinery altogether (heavy pavement grinders typically measure 4.5m or more when you include the belt). That limits the effectiveness of the work done under the bridge. That said, the fact that the bridge does not limit traffic as much as closing a full lane means there is less pressure to finish the work as fast as possible.

With the amount of time the road was shut down to install the bridge, and the relatively narrow working space, how much of a benefit does assembling the bridge provide?

The problem in Switzerland is that a construction site means narrowing the Autobahn from two lanes to one lane. This notoriously creates huge problems on our Autobahn. With that bridge, the hope is to help traffic flow without having to take away one lane. Constructing such a bridge makes sense because roadwork is usually done on a stretch of road which is several kilometres long. It's especially important for trucks because if trucks get stuck in traffic, they could fall into the night curfew which would be a disaster for truckers. Avoiding traffic jams therefore is important for truckers. The bridge can move easily. When a patch of roadwork is done, it will move ahead 100 meters. And only being able to work on one lane is not an issue. Here in Switzerland, roadwork is usually done on one lane anyway with or without that bridge because as you narrow down the Autobahn from two lanes to one lane, the second lane still needs to be used for traffic. With that bridge, you can keep two lanes going while trucks can approach the road work site from the side of the bridge without being impeded by traffic. Without that bridge, you sometimes have issues with trucks, machinery and traffic all sharing a narrow space. So all in all, such an idea makes sense for Switzerland.

You made it look simple ! Amazing engineering, love your videos

This is a revolutionary concept imho. In germany, the Autobahn is blocked by multiple construction works over a long stretch, with work sometimes beginning months after setting up the parameter. It's a contract thing. With the mechanism in the video, you could easily overcome those problems and make the traffic flow normally. With the bridge setup and traffic flowing over it, you can literally take months of time without any major impact. Tho there probably will be a dude blasting over the structure with 300km/h in his bmw.

It’s a great concept. 1 flaw I see is, how are you going to get road construction equipment in and out from underneath the bridge, especially when roadways need to be resurfaced? The only plausible solution I can think of, is by making highways 6-8 lanes (3-4 lanes coming and 3-4 lanes going) wide, to minimize traffic congestion. Another flaw I see, is the routine maintenance of the bridge sections. Thirdly, the numbers of man-hours and personnel it takes to setup and take the bridge apart. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a brilliant idea and proof of concept, but there’s pro’s and con’s to everything.

@LeTangKichiro

3 ай бұрын

It isn't a proof of concept. It is an actual bridge that is being used. Equipment fits underneath. Engineers have anticipated that. They don't just build a bridge and then realise that equipment doesn't fit underneath. They know exactly what dimensions their equipmen has and what is needed to accomodate them. I don't know why you would think that 8 lanes are needed... For what? They already use that bridge here and it works fine on existing Autobahns. You also highly overestimate the maintenance of such a bridge. Here in Switzerland, we also operate some of the most advanced tunnel boring machines and even those highly stressed machines don't need as much maintenance as people believe. So maintenance for such a "simple" bridge (compared to a boring machine) is not an issue. And also the man hours of setting up such a bridge is not an issue. Compared to the amount of time such road work takes, it is more efficient to have two lanes role over that bridge rather than having only one lane and huge traffic jams. If you have to sacrifice two nights for that, it makes a lot of sense for traffic planners and the economy which relies heavily on flowing traffic. You don't seem to understand at which technologically advanced level we Swiss work because the "flaws" you see have already been accounted for long time ago. And there are extensive cost/reward calculations which clearly show that such a bridge is worthwile. If you want to see how advanced Swiss people are, watch a documentary on how the Gotthard Base tunnel was built or the Ritom tunnel for electricity construction. That is some advanced stuff. If they can handle these, don't ever think that those some people have not thought about those easy question where you seem to spot problems. They are highly competent people and some of the best in the world.

Impressive, now if only we can have a system like that here in the US then road crews can work on the road without disrupting the flow of traffic or causing delays.

as children we often had those ideas... turns out it was not as stupid as our parents thought :D

i understand that to do the next section of the road, or the other lane, you juste move the entire bridge. but how do you work on the shoulders?

We have this kind of bridges already for years here in Vienna, Austria allowing the exchange of expansion joints on one of the busiest highways in Austria. Our experiences are very good!
