Chongqing "Owl Overpass", the aerial photos are lovely and dazzling! Is this construction meaningful?

First, the main reason of Owl overpass is to improve the local traffic environment. Chongqing has uneven terrain, so it will adopt such an overpass to change its geographical position.

In fact, as can be seen from the figure, it is a plan view on the surface, but actually a three-dimensional view. Because the landform of Chongqing is not flat, the location you see is not as short as you thought. It is possible that he needs to climb very high stairs to reach the designated location, so the overpass has become their most commonly used mode of transportation. The design of the overpass also makes the roads here more and more smooth, and the distance between roads is closer, mainly for the convenience of vehicles coming and going from various places.

Second, when the Owl Overpass in Chongqing was originally designed, it was not designed to look like an owl, but later it was found to be the most convenient way in the design process, and later it was found to be more like an owl.

From the perspective of aerial photography, we can see that this figure really looks like an owl, especially those two big round eyes. In fact, those two eyes are used for greening, because while ensuring smooth roads, they should also provide a route for local residents, and this route is right in the middle of the overpass. Naturally, everyone looks like the eyes of an owl. In fact, this is just an unexpected result.

Thirdly, the local designers all design according to the local specific terrain, mainly to solve the local traffic problems and let people commute better.

From this picture, we can feel the three-dimensional change of the overpass, and we can feel that there will be an expressway above the expressway, and there will be an overpass above it, which will be built layer by layer. Because every place in Chongqing is actually uneven and patchy, we will make some adjustments and changes by using its local topography. The reason why overpasses are built is also to avoid congestion. If we adopt a linear approach, it will inevitably bring congestion to the local area.
