The state of the world's decaying dams, bridges, roads, etc


The Infrastructure Reddit

Infrastructure - the fundamental facilities and systems serving a country, city, or area, including the services and facilities necessary for its economy to function. It typically characterizes technical structures such as roads, bridges, tunnels, water supply, sewers, electrical grids, telecommunications, and so forth, and can be defined as "the physical components of interrelated systems providing commodities and services essential to enable, sustain, or enhance societal living conditions."

Is China just good or what?

China is breaking nearly every world record in infrastructure and construction.

They have the world's largest span hybrid girder bridge:

They have the longest expressway tunnel:

The highest bridge in the world (Huajiang grand canyon bridge):

and the most expensive infrastructure project:

Good infrastructure is good for the economy, for the populace, as a political statement (in some ways), etc.

Is China just good at this or what?

What's your favorite seen and unseen infrastructure?

Can be a category or one tied to a specific location.

For me I've always been interested in transport infrastructure that is very seen but for "unseen" infrastructure recently I've started looking into electrical generation and delivery.

Can you recognize this city from aerial images

Hello! Just a little "I made this" post that I thought could interest infrastructure nerds. I built a small game where you have to guess a city from satellite images. It's called unzoomed.com

Here's today's starting frame:

https://preview.redd.it/5g2n2tb7ibzd1.png?width=1072&format=png&auto=webp&s=0d883b364f992dcb7ceffd55019208db95f87c50

I just launched a US version as well, if you like very neat grids... -> us.unzoomed.com

How fast can you find today's pick? How can I improve the game?
