Lovely, but I’d like to note this happened 7 years ago in 2017 :)
This is still super cool, glad it was posted cause I missed this.
It’s fantastic that they did this, but i don’t know why they didn’t have more greenery. It’s like a bunch of potted plants loosely scattered about, which is nice, but IMO would’ve been a lot better if they really had long stretches of green plant life
Might be limited in terms of how much weight of soil the structure can support.
I’m wondering if it’s a maintenance thing? Like they need to be able to inspect the former road surface for damage, or contain the plants to avoid roots spreading any cracks they can find? No idea otherwise.

Oh hey I saw this when I was there. It’s actually really nice. It’s very pretty at night and due to the highway being elevated it has nice views. Definitely a must see if you’re visiting.
That’s the most perfect asphalt I’ve ever seen in my life. Please use whatever they’re using when paving bike lanes 👌👌👌
What are bike lanes lol
[sad face]
No, it’s less grippy in the rain. The rougher road is far more practical and safer for vehicles, especially ones with only two wheels.

I’m not sure about that, although, I don’t know what specific road surface they use in Seoul.
Anecdotally, when we get new bike paths, it looks like that and the fresh asphalt used provides a lot of traction!
Once it gets worn from cars, it becomes slippery, especially once you add in oils from motor vehicles.
But the asphalt itself is not going to be slippery when it’s in good condition and not riddles with potholes.
My comment is also a compliment to the fact there are no potholes, “snakes”, oil marks, or anything in the roads shown in the photo. Impressive.
This makes me happy.
