Irate Chinese construction workers decided enough was enough and took to the streets to settle their turf war, caught on video by a bystander.

At one point, a wheel loader is seen charging in from the left, coming to the rescue of his overturned fellow loader. He almost rights the stricken machine that is lying on its side.

After the dust had settle, their site managers might have had something to say about their use of company equipment.

So where exactly to old dozers go to die? Are they carted off to a special scrapyard where the ‘carcass’ is broken down after all useable parts are stripped away?

In the US state of Nevada, one onlooker videoed the final moments of an old bull dozer – apparently an International Harvester, according to one viewer. %$Linker: 2 External <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary /> 0 0 0 oLinkExternal Click here Visit Youtube \Video false https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rDhY7GMJeI false false%> to watch as a tracked front loader picks it clean and tries hard to bash down the remaining hulk into small bits.

    Nothing lasts forever, including – and perhaps especially – highways. One fine example of this is a 21km section of the original 580km Pennsylvania Turnpike in the US state of Pennsylvania.

    As the video shows, vegetation, animals and cyclists have slowly been reclaiming part of what was hailed as an engineering masterpiece when it was opened in 1940.

    Forget moose, ducks and other wildlife that cross a highway. It’s time for a new road sign - “Salmon Crossing” - as this video from the US state of Washington shows.

    It can happen when salmon are making their way from the Pacific Ocean to their spawning grounds up the same river where they were born. If the river is in flood, the fish can find themselves following the water roiling over a road.

    In the Canadian Rocky Mountains, there was a window of opportunity of only several days before these excavators had to be out of the Kananaskis River ahead of nearby Barrier Dam releasing its water. The provincial Alberta Whitewater Association hired local contractor Foran Equipment to bring in their equipment in to re-work the riverbed after severe flooding in June 2013 washed out the kayaking courses. Southern parts of Alberta province suffered severe storms and massive flooding that month which devastate

    Sure, it’s a spectacular run down a mountain road. But it’s also an extremely visual reminder that highway infrastructure is important for work and play. Let’s not forget that the road - in this case Switzerland’s Grimsel Pass, 2,164m - has to be smooth enough for Jean Yves “Rollerman” Blondeau to reach those speeds without being chucked over edge and down a cliff. The pass is a driver’s delight as it crosses the continental divide in the Alps where rivers flow one way towards the North Sea and the ot
