This sounds fine. I live in a city that just spent 20 years of planning, over 5 years of construction, and 500mio US$ of taxpayer money to „cover“ the stunning length of 840m (0.5 miles) of an existing highway (Not a new highway, just covering an existing one with two walls and a flat roof, and no, the bildung material is not gold, it‘s concrete)

I had to move Nay Pyi Taw since the beginning of establishment for my mom sake . She was one of hundreds of engineers involved in that project .I found that most Burmese are not very fond of Nay Pyi Taw because it looks boring and the atmosphere is dry and spooky than former capital city . But here without any political affairs and the background situations, I can say that the structures and concepts established in the city are very well founded. Although a lot of things are still needed, especially transportation, education institudes, economic organizations from every aspects. I guess introverts would love that place for the atmosphere is really quiet and private , unless you are in the market :)

I'm currently living in Naypyitaw, Myanmar. 80% of the small population of Naypyitaw, including me, live in the urbanized areas which were villages about 500 years ago. More than 90% of the city were teak forests before 2000. Naypyitaw is six times larger than the city of New York. Now, Myanmar is in a military coup, and more people have left the capital to hide in forests in remote mountainous areas, as we are under high risk for being arrested by the military. After we win this revolution, we warmly welcome you all to pay a visit to Myanmar.

Hawai’i Resident and Native Hawaiian here, no idea where you got the “cursed” thing from, the only superstition we have is taking pork over that mountain for reasons relating to cultural deities. But the H-3 is definitely useful. It’s the fastest way from the east side to downtown Honolulu and the airport. Going right down the middle of the island is definitely faster than going around; that being said, the military definitely uses it. Like the video points out, it leads from MCAS K-Bay to Pearl Harbor, that’s still super useful; the national guard uses it all the time! Just recently it was used during our massive surge testing for Covid-19.

I do remember one time we went a long way all the way around the island after a BSA event over near Waimea Valley.

A fast train should have been built at the same time they were building the airport.

I understand that there is a known company in Spain who is into speed trains. It seemed they were just focused on how big the area and how many it will accommodate but forgot the passengers who will ride the planes and the consumers who will occupy the space, as well as the people's convenience whom they are building the project for in the first place.

2:41 hi, native hawaiian here. i'm curious where this information came from. initial cultural opposition to the project died out long ago, and seems to exist more at an administrative level than in the daily lives of native hawaiians. so i'm not sure where "...a majority of whom refuse to use the H3 to this day" ever came from. even activists still need to drive to work. or the beach. i'm also not sure what is meant by "certain native groups." there's only one native group. to the contrary, the H3 is known as a godsend to anyone on wheels. being farther from town, less prone to traffic jams, and more accessible via the main freeway than the other two tunnel routes (pali and likelike), makes it a critical alternate for anyone who needs to cross the mountain. this would be made apparent with even the most brief look at traffic behavior (or a map) on this route, but is not mentioned in this video. all military commands on the island know this as well, which is why it's also heavily used by army and marine training convoys.

I visited Honolulu in the '70s and needed to travel to the other side of the island to visit relatives. The trip was nice but took a long time. I am sure that the H3 will be a winner for all the people and visitors of the island. We have similar problems with ancient sites being disturbed in my country, Australia, but I am sure the sites were treated with the respect due to them. It is difficult for all races to come together even for the benefit of the majority when their beliefs are being challenged but common sense and trust that beliefs are not being trampled without good reason should be the norm for us all.

I'm hawaiian was born and raised in hawaii and still live here. No body sees the H-3 as a problem and it's super useful. There's only 4 ways you can get over or around the mountain range this freeway goes through. You can go around the whole island to the east, cut through a high hill and go around on the north west side, or take H-3 or the Wilson tunnel. The latter options are like 3 times faster because your not going through the big tourist spots like North shore and you don't have to drive all the way to Hawaii Kai and back around.

I used to live at one end of H3 the fact that it avoided Downtown was part of the point. there are already routes that go there. H3 connected the 2nd business center to the bedroom communities. and connected the military bases The Hawaiian native population has some legitimate grievances and in order to be heard they will complain about anything and everything as long as there is an open mike. Admittedly it cost too much because of the viaducts required to separate it from the valley floor. You didn't show any of the rush hour shots where it was full of cars. also when it was closed on occasion for maintenance the other routes backed up for hours.

The H3 is probably the most used road in all of Hawaii, it’s used every single day and is the fastes way from East to West and vice versa. Also it is a very small minority that doesn’t use it and I’ve never heard of anybody who doesn’t use it till I watched this video

The people that don't use it yet they'll use all the other roads and facilities that where built in Hawaii. Why do they use the Airport? That thing took out hundreds of acres of wildlife and natural terrain, or the hospital that sits upon a former nesting ground of the Nene bird? Don't go to the movie theater, it sits upon land that bats used to shit on

Crazy enough, if you calculate the inflation of $250 Million in 1969 (Project proposal time) to Finish Time in 1997, the value is $1.2 Billion. Sounds like a colossal effect of inflation, but pretty on par for the original project estimation. (In the video it says the final cost was $1.3 Billion.)
