Extremely cool video. Very cool technique as well. Two questions.
First, I'm guessing the cardboard boxes they filled with road material are for testing / QA of the blend?
Second, the "bridge" structure that allows traffic to keep flowing is very cool, but I'm assuming you have to stop traffic to get it into place to begin with. Seems unlikely they are moving that structure while traffic drives over it. Of course placing that structure should take much less time than the resurfacing process, but how much time? Minutes? Hours?
- bombcar 2y agoIt's probably overnight to set it in position, but it looks like it has wheels so they can probably move it down the road in an overnight hour or so. It's basically a one-time capital cost for the "mobile bridge" and then they can use it repeatedly; not sure it really ends up being better overall than the usual American "divide and conquer" method used, where they do a lane at a time and divert traffic around. The denser the area the more valuable it'll be, I presume.
