In one country, with China’s help, a massive 14-mile bridge was under construction.
When it came time to join both sides, everything aligned —
except one end was 1.2 inches taller.
That tiny difference?
🚶 No problem for walkers.
🚗 Major danger for high-speed traffic.
So engineers did the unthinkable:
🔹 Poured 330,000 lbs of water on the higher side
🔹 220,000 lbs on the lower side
💧 The weight adjusted both ends perfectly!
Finally, tensioned cables and bonding agents sealed the deal — and the bridge was saved!
