  • NORWAY
    Is making headlines with its ambitious plan to construct the world’s longest and deepest underwater tunnel, the Rogfast Tunnel. This engineering marvel, estimated to cost around $46 billion, is designed to connect the cities of Stavanger and Haugesund, spanning approximately 27 kilometers (16.8 miles) beneath the seabed.

    Key Features of the Rogfast Tunnel:
    Record-Breaking Depth: The tunnel will reach a depth of 392 meters (1,286 feet) below sea level, making it the deepest of its kind.
    Dual Purpose: It is a dual-tube road tunnel that aims to significantly reduce travel time between the two cities from about 40 minutes (via ferry) to just 20 minutes by car.
    Advanced Engineering: The construction involves cutting-edge drilling and safety technologies to withstand extreme underwater pressures and ensure safe travel.
    Benefits:
    Economic Growth: The tunnel will strengthen Norway’s infrastructure and foster economic ties between regions.
    Environmental Impact: By replacing ferries, it will reduce carbon emissions and improve connectivity in a more sustainable manner.
    Tourism Boost: The project is expected to attract global attention, enhancing Norway’s appeal as a tourist destination.
    The Rogfast Tunnel is part of Norway’s broader efforts to modernize its infrastructure and maintain its reputation as a leader in sustainable and innovative engineering. It’s a remarkable example of human ingenuity pushing the limits of what’s possible under the sea.

  • SART AQUEDUCT Located@BELGIUM
    Is a remarkable example of modern engineering. Inaugurated in 2002, it allows boats to cross the Thiriau du Sart valley, offering a panoramic view over important roads in the region. With a length of 498 meters and a width of 46 meters, this aqueduct is designed with a water depth of approximately 4 meters, ensuring the continuous navigation of vessels of various sizes.

    Built with prestressed concrete, its structure is supported by 28 pillars with a diameter of 3 meters, strategically spaced every 36 meters. In addition to facilitating river transport between the Meuse and Scheldt basins, the aqueduct plays a crucial role in the development of commercial and tourist navigation in the region.

    Another highlight is the hydraulic lift, which allows vessels to be raised and lowered, considered a true masterpiece both from a technical and aesthetic perspective. This lift is a clear demonstration of the commitment to efficiency and innovation in maritime transport

  • Evergreen Point Bridge
    Longest FLOATING bridge in the WORLD located @ WASHINGTON

    Did you know The longest floating bridge in the world is the Evergreen Point Bridge (aka SR 520 Bridge), located in Washington state, United States. This bridge crosses Lake Washington and connects the cities of Seattle and Medina.

    Features of the Evergreen Point Bridge

    1. Total Length: The floating bridge is approximately 2,350 meters (7,710 feet) long, making it the longest floating bridge in the world.
    2. Floating Structure: Unlike traditional bridges that are supported by pillars or columns, this bridge floats on water thanks to 77 reinforced concrete pontoons that provide stability and buoyancy.
    3. Inauguration: The original version of the bridge was inaugurated in 1963, but due to aging and the need for more earthquake and storm-resistant infrastructure, a new bridge was built, inaugurated in 2016.
    4. Cost: The bridge reconstruction cost about $4.560 million, covering infrastructure improvements, seismic resistance and capacity to withstand current traffic.
    5. Capacity: The bridge has 6 lanes (3 in each direction) and features a dedicated HOV lane, cycle lane, and a pedestrian sidewalk.
    6. Importance: It's a crucial route for travelers in the region, especially for those working in the tech areas of Seattle and Redmond, where Microsoft is headquarters.

    Design and Construction

    The floating design is essential due to the depth of Lake Washington, which exceeds 60 meters. Traditional solutions, like pillars, would be technically complicated and expensive. The bridge's pontoons are anchored to the bottom of the lake with wires, allowing for floating and supporting the weight of vehicles.

    Challenges

    • Weather and Earthquakes: The bridge was designed to withstand strong storms and seismic movements, very common in this region.
    • Traffic: Daily, the bridge is used by tens of thousands of vehicles, making it an important road artery for the Seattle metropolitan region. #curiosities

    Did you know that Ruyi Bridge, located in Zhejiang province, China, is an impressive pedestrian structure that stands out for its unique and modern design. Opened in 2020 in the Shenxianju National Geological Park, the bridge has a total length of approximately 100 meters and extends to a height of 140 meters over a deep ravine.
    The most notable thing about the Ruyi Bridge is its undulating design, reminiscent of a ribbon or the curve of a mountain, with interlocking sections that symbolize the traditional “ruyi,” an ancient Chinese symbol that represents good fortune. It is constructed of steel and glass, allowing visitors to enjoy stunning panoramic views of the mountain landscape and valley below their feet, providing an exciting and visually stunning experience.
    This bridge has become a popular tourist attraction for its futuristic aesthetics and the combination of modern architecture with the natural beauty of the environment, in addition to being a feat of modern engineering. Credits: Curiosidades

  • One of the OLDEST & MOST FAMOUS suspension bridges @ USA designed by ENG'R JOHN AUGUSTUS ROEBLING
    Did you know The Brooklyn Bridge, completed in 1883, is one of the oldest and most famous suspension bridges in the United States, connecting the districts of Manhattan and Brooklyn in New York. Designed by engineer John Augustus Roebling, its construction pioneered the use of steel cables and advanced techniques for the time. After Roebling's death, his son Washington Roebling took over the project's direction, although he also suffered health problems due to deep work, so his wife, Emily Roebling, played a crucial role in overseeing its completion.

    The bridge is approximately 1,834 meters long and was the first to use steel cables in its structure, becoming a symbol of engineering and innovation. Its design combines Gothic and neoclassical elements, with its features towers of limestone and granite. Today, the Brooklyn Bridge is both a transit route for pedestrians, cyclists, and automobiles, and an iconic NYC tourist attraction, offering stunning views of the city skyline and the East River.

    This is Jakarta's road system, a complex network designed to serve one of the most populated cities in the world. Jakarta boasts elevated freeways, modern bridges and urban roads that try to mitigate the city’s intense traffic. Despite these infrastructures, vehicle congestion problems are notorious due to high population density and rapid urban growth. In addition, the city is implementing mass transportation projects, such as elevated trains and high-speed bus systems, to improve mobility and reduce environmental impact.
