Tunnel Madness....

[accyroy]

Whilst looking for an example of crazy undertaking on moscows roads I found this great video of Lefortovo tunnel, which is a recently completed tunnel in Moscow but could have done with a little better design...
Watch out for the bendy bus, it's excellent!

Lmfao!!! how did that bus do that?!?! pmsl excellent lol

That is madness !!! wonder how many towtrucks turned up that day ??

I think the walls must be made out of "poly-filla".

Excellent video.

Just look through the video again, at about 58 seconds theres an accident with 2 vans, where did the 2nd van come from, i've looked at it a few times and can't work it out, it appears from no-where

I've just watched it over and over again too and I can't work it out either. It's weird!

It seems to just squeeze through a really tiny gap.

Well here is a map to the tunnel http://www.roads.ru/ttk/lefortovo.htm - the actual tunnel itself is the blue and pink sections, there are various merges and I think that lorry must be coming in from one and ran out of room!

I see they give driving licenses to women in Russia as well

whoah, cheers for that Roy, pretty scary stuff but fun to watch

Well i've been watching that again and still can't work it out
1. If you look at it and watch the road, bottom right you don't see it coming in
2. When the collision happens the 2nd van is facing against the flow of traffic yet it doesn't appear in the clip coming towards you
3. It seems about 2 foot in the air on collision

It almost seems to materialise out of the first van.
