A surprising case has come to light in California, America, where the government has built such a bridge. Whose path leads nowhere. The cost of this bridge is 11 billion dollars (about 9 trillion rupees) and it took 9 years to build this bridge. Now many people have slammed the High Speed ​​Rail Authority regarding this bridge.

The bridge is a small part of the state's long-running bullet train project aimed at connecting San Francisco to Los Angeles. Last year, the construction company had announced the completion of the work on this bridge built on the Fresno River. After this, many people including Tesla founder Elon Musk and Dogecoin creator Billy Marcus have made fun of the California High-Speed ​​Rail Authority.

Elon Musk and Billy Marcus satirized 

Elon Musk had expressed disappointment while reacting to his ex after the announcement of bridge construction. He had shared a crying emoji. At the same time, Billy Marcus said in his X post, this is the most remarkable human achievement so far.

He said that after 9 years and 11 billion dollars, 1600 feet of high-speed rail, it takes about 5 minutes to walk 1600 feet. High-speed rail is really a big deal for him. A report claimed that completing the bridge could cost 100 billion US dollars. Marcus responded sarcastically and said, wow, very true.

The bridge is part of the first phase of the project

Let us tell you that the money spent on this project includes bridges and other infrastructure for the first phase of the high-speed road. Which stretches from Bakersfield, south of Los Angeles, to Merced, about 80 miles away from the Bay Area. The critics responded to an earlier post by the rail authority praising the completion of the Fresno River Viaduct in Madera, describing it as one of the first completed high-speed rail structures.

The high-speed trains will run parallel to the BNSF rail route

The High-Speed ​​Rail Authority said that approximately 1,600 feet long high-speed trains will pass over the river and run parallel to the BNSF Railroad. The authority had also shared pictures of the bridge, which show that this bridge is not connected at any end.

According to the New York Post, venture capitalist Patrick Blumenthal suggested that the High-Speed ​​Rail Authority needs to rethink its pats on the back given the lack of progress on the rail line project. He said that after 15 years, 0.3 miles has been completed, which cost 11.2 billion dollars.
