Where is the most complex interchange in the world: 15 exits and 20 lanes

In the Soviet Union, the idea of road junctions was limited to the familiar "cloverleaf". One such overpass had only one exit on each side.

It was simply impossible to get lost or misorientated the first time. Modern transport interchanges look completely different.

It is believed that one of the most complex road junctions in the world is located in China and has the equally complex name of Huangjuewan.

In total, road workers created 15 exits and 20 lanes in 8 directions.

The Huangjuewan Overpass is located in southwest China in the Chongqing Municipality.

More than 30 million people live here.

Construction of the facility began in 2009 and was completed in 2017.

As a result, the transport interchange took up almost 40 hectares of area.

One of the overpass lines is located at a height of 37 meters, while the entire overpass consists of 5 levels and is complemented by 2 underground tunnels.

But even if you miss the right turn, you can try again: the road workers have provided an exit from the overpass for a U-turn every kilometer.

Earlier we told you which people have the widest tongue .
