A last look over the finished bridge would have been nice. But the best thing is these men will bring their children to look at the bridge and say "look papa built that or Granda helped build that" and generations after too will know their family helped with this fantastic project I hope they are proud of their legacy

Great art...thank you all hardworking artists.

Wonderful skills, very enjoyable video, older men creating a special and functional bridge for all to see it’s beauty and a passageway for all to enjoy

What a pity we could not see the final result with calm

Bunch of grandparents doing what younglings can’t.

With this type of project it would be a great idea to place a time capsule with details of the builders and the current times.
I can see such a bridge being in place for several hundred, if not a thousand years.

Showing all of the views as extreme close-ups, makes it impossible to get a good sense of the construction process. Also, there is no view of the finished product.

At last, the ancient building skills of the Chinese (and Romans) have never lost.

Thanks, it’s fun to see stone work that I never experienced or knew the historic process.

Iput the volume to zero to rid this fine programme of ear fleas😂....

Why the vertical "cut line" on each side of the bridge?

[badgoy]

The formwork is impressive and seems massively overkill.

Tökéletes !
Ilyent még a mindíg preciz németek sem csinálnak .

It would have beeen a better video if some sort of commentry could have been done instead of just music.

[calummacleod]

Looks like there first attempt, they’ll get there eventually.

Very intresting video !
Some questions doe
1: cant you is original sound of the guys working not mood music.
2 : the central fill over the vault seem to be dirt and stones, then i capped with morter stones, why is not clean stone gravel and weak mortar mix used as fill?
In a country region with cold winders frost expansion could lift the roads stone slabs and cracks stuff, frost heave safe draining fill would eliminate this risk. If this level off effort is put into the bridge, surely the fill could have been sifted and cleand of dirt .
3 . Why is the stone joints mortet afterwards?
The morter in the stone work is clearly( mostly )for making good contact surfaces between the stones not to glue them together, the morter stone fill behind the wall is the component holding the stonework and handling pressure from the loose fill inside the construction.
Mortning the joints on the outside surface, does make the bridge less nice estetetlicly. Is there any benefit to dong so, open joints would enable drainage of water if i got inside the construction. Or am i wrong?
The structure strength increase of morting the jointes
Afterwards is probably not not
Big at all.

I like the traditional workmenship here and that the valve forms are made off timber very educational.

know what great about this kind of building workers, first they learn WHERE to and not put a bridge, like a weather man who sticks his head out a window before reporting the weather.
