I know they didn't, but it's in such good condition after that, it almost looks like you could just dust it off, set it back upright, and it would be all good.

Come off it ya wanker
Still in better condition than most horizontal roads in my country.
If you drive fast enough, you could still use it.
Even with the jumps though?

By collapsing in such an “orderly” way, did this help save lives of people in the cars?
Probably not. Anyone under the edge is crushed. Anyone on the road surface is tumbled and probably thrown off. I guess it's better than pancaking.
Now I see where the latest Mario Kart games got their track level inspirations from.
Now that's a picture... What the heck!?
Anyone else impressed that the road segments stayed intact?
Is this picture taken at an angle or is it a straight picture of the highway at an angle??
The buildings on the right side of the picture are upright.
This highway must've been on pillars and fell sideways.
Edit: here is a pic from a different angle:
What's crazy is how long the toppled highway keeps its shape and direction, it just goes all the way to the horizon. Squinting at the thumbnail I thought I was looking at the wall of a brutalist building.
That explains why it looks so clean, thanks!

I bet they had it fixed within a week
