To waste more funds, lolz. Don't mind me. It was created that way to indirectly limit drivers speed since there is a hill. The reduced speeding of vehicles will reduce casualties and damage of properties. 6 Likes |

Pwettylinda:It’s to steep for straight line road, Driving upwards would be hard for trucks, lorry etc, driving downward would be dangerous for both small cars and big truck etc. |

Zonefree:A bridge needs to high points to connect them and continue the road, this has only one high point, hence a bridge is not needed, at all times the slope of the road cannot exceed a certain degrees, so car can comfortably maneuver around in balance. |

Road or rail constructions require a lot of earthworks. If you want the road to go straight, you will do some cut and fill, the only area to get the earthworks to fill it are the closeby hills or mountains. This will cost them more money and time. Road or rail builders always consider the terrain before building them. The builder might be avoiding something very important or even more costly than the road. Idiko1:You are very correct. 1 Like 1 Share |
