I love this idea. Look at The Sejourne Viaduct for a strong case of beauty in infrastructure. https://c8.alamy.com/comp/K6YGA0/france-pyrenees-orientales-natura

People decry the loss of views in suburbs when a train might run next to the freeway. They hear train tracks and think ugly. But we can build sightly infrastructure that does not detract from the world’s most beautiful places.

I've never understood the 'unspoilt beauty' types - 90% of the time the 'unspoilt' beauty they're talking about only exists because of human intervention. Rolling hills would look a lot different if they weren't used for agriculture or didn't have sheep occasionally cropping them.
