Tunnel development set for Englischer Garten in Munich, Germany

The German state of Bavaria will invest around €35 million in a road tunnel under the Englischer Garten in Munich. The city of Munich will have to find the rest of the expected €125 million construction cost for the 380m tunnel that will replace a motorway that splits the park. German media reports say that city authorities will look toward some form of private sponsorship for tunnel that would likely be a cut and cover design that would follow closely the current alignment of the highway.

Englischer Garten, or English Garden, was built in 1789. At 3.7km2 - 370 ha – it is one of Europe's largest urban public parks and larger than New York City's Central Park. The name comes from its landscape style that was popular in England from the mid-18th century.

    It takes courage to drive down the wrong side of a motorway and a lot of nerve. But this driver in China appears to have both in large quantities as he heads off on his journey. Apparently, his passenger is his equal when it comes to sangfroid. He even appears in camera shot with a big smile on his face. Luckily no crash took place. However, the video stops just before the taxi arrives at something in the road. Was it a road block? If that driving experience wasn’t too unsettling for anyone, then c

    The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting a different result from the first attempt. That goes for some people who wish to put petrol in their car but don’t quite get the spatial thing, as this video shows. The person appears to expect the filler cap to have moved from one side of the vehicle to the other simply because she drove around the petrol pump. Her confusion over the filler cap is nothing compared to other funnier – and sometimes tragic – happening

    Slowly but surely, a 2,500 tonne section of a new bridge deck was eased out from the banks of the River Wear near Sunderland in northern England. It now straddles the water, pointing towards the opposite bank which it will eventually reach after another sliding operation next year likely. The project to build the New Wear Crossing is now half way through with the first half of the steel deck bridge poised mid-river. Completion of the bridge is expected in the spring of 2018. This month, hydraulic jack
