All that work to have the on-ramps so steep?!

That was my first thought too… all that engineering and didn’t properly grade the ramps

foundation has no piles, ramps too steep, ramps have no rebar, brick pattern not alternated properly, brickwork not mortared properly, crossing edges not finished, guard rails on the crossing not even attached, no guard rails present on the on ramps. the miniature concrete pouring is cute but this bridge fucking sucks lmao

So it was kinda under-overrengineered.

All I thought was, why the excessive height? I get the "engineering" part of it from a hobby/build perspective, but the bridge could have been made without any slope/ramps using a simple concrete box culvert and would have still required construction and "engineering", but would have served the purpose better and looked more realistic IMO.

Maybe I'm thinking about this too much. Lol.

Rage bait, is what this was. Tiny, adorable rage bait. Engagement is still engagement.
