Louisiana has done this a few times. LA 35 in Rayne had 2 spans removed and replaced during 2 12 hour periods. It was also recently done near Monroe when the Well Rd overpass was completely replaced in 3 days.

I'm sure the preparation was quite lengthy.

1. China has the luxury of being a totalitarian country. The USA does not.
2. After the whole ghost cities thing, I don't believe anything that comes out of China.
3. Louisiana could do the exact same thing, and it would take 48 months.

Actually, normal concrete takes about 28 days to reach its "accepted" full strength. It is normally accepted that 28 days is the normal cure time, however, there are those in the industry who will argue.

Here's a link to a video for the Well Road replacement project that includes a time lapse video of the actual replacement.

A 2 lane overpass compared to a 10 lane one?

Really?

Do you have a point?


I came across an interesting article with a video on the China project...

I didn't fact check to make sure that we weren't doing the same here. Sue me.

Sorry for pissing in your Cheerios
