How Do They Build Bridges Over Impossible Terrain_ Mega Bridge Construction Explained

Discover how engineers build mega bridges when there is no usable ground beneath them. From Himalayan cliffs and deep rivers to crowded cities, active railways and open sea, this engineering documentary follows massive bridge construction machines, launching gantries, floating cranes, precast girders, hydraulic systems and cable-stayed structures. See 1,000-ton machines build from completed bridge decks, 900-ton concrete sections move into position, giant arches meet above canyons, and bridge segments rise from barges. From America and Canada to China, India, Europe and Australia, these projects reveal the extreme engineering behind modern mega bridge construction—and why sometimes the bridge itself must become the construction site.
