One can only imagine the nepotism, corruption, bribery and graft that went into the contracts to build this highway.

Looking at some of those bridges the support columns seems to be spaced widely apart. And the bridges have a steep angle of inclination on both the entrance and exit sides. Also why the name sadre for the name of this expressway when there are dozens of better names to choose from?

Dancing Parties of Youth and Students Held
Pyongyang, October 8 (KCNA) -- Dancing parties of youth and students took place across the country on Tuesday to celebrate the 16th anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il's election as general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK).
Venues of dancing parties in Pyongyang included the plazas of the Monument to Party Founding and the April 25 House of Culture and the Arch of Triumph Square which were crowded with youth and students celebrating the significant October holiday.
The cheerful parties began with such songs as "The Party Is General's Embrace."
The participants presented dances with the profound feelings of respect for Kim Jong Il who developed the WPK into an invincible and iron-willed party and opened up a new history of building a thriving socialist nation.

You would prefer congestion and traffic jams then?,not to mention the increased pollution that goes along with such things

If a fat man increases the size of his trousers,would that solve his weight problem?

Theres a world of difference between the trouser size of the morbidly obese and the demands of a modern transport network in a large city of almost 8 million,I suppose you would rather have massive congestion and the pollution that that entails,even with attempts to encourage public transport usage over private vehicles you still have to have modern roads on which the public transport can drive.The truth is that there is no easy solution to the problems of transportation in a large city,saying dont build more roads is silly,you might as well try and limit car ownership

They love the name of Sadre because he was one of them a terrorist mullah.

That saying was coined by a traffic engineer in the UK. No I don't like congestion and pollution.But I also think it is a very bad and ugly thing to over build inner city motorways and fly overs. It just allows more cars on the road. What we need is far less cars and an increase in metro lines and new tramways as well as more LPG buses and Taxi. Also much more trees should be planted along avenues and roads.Something that the Tehran city hall is doing in reverse by cutting down trees along avenues and roads. Car ownership is OK but to a certain degree that will not harm the local environment by building bridges and freeways through residential areas. Because after all would you like a bridge or freeway going past your back garden or front apartment windows?
