China has long surprised everyone with constructions built on a grand scale. This time we will tell you about a new road that is a real "super structure". The Chinese have built a 240-kilometer highway called Yashi. There is nothing extraordinary about it, if not for the fact that the road winds between high mountain ranges and their peaks. The height above sea level increases with each kilometer traveled by an average of 7.5 meters. That is why the highway was also called the "elevator to heaven" or "heavenly road". In China, roads are considered an important element of strengthening statehood and therefore much attention is paid to it. The pace of construction reaches up to 30 thousand kilometers of multi-lane highways per year. The technology used involves laying a substructure consisting of concrete slabs, which are then poured with asphalt. The durability of such a solution is estimated at 30-40 years. #ItInteresting # Welcome, anyone who wants to support our channel can become a sponsor! / @tointeresujace7074
