Not a fan of a bridge that just takes you back where you came from.

Sounds like someone didn’t have a slot car set growing up

@booboo its really impressive but given it started behind the range of hills at the far left why didn't they simply build a bridge down the valley highlighted which would have been a shorter route to the same end point?

@dogmeat hey that's almost word for word what I said

@dogmeat @Bones I think it's the last two words below:

The bridge forms part of a spiral crossing over the expressway 180 metres (590 ft) below. The bridge and associated spiral allow for navigatable gradients

Not being a road engineer, I'm not saying that's the best solution, but judging from the below pic it looks like they're attempting to address a gradient of approx 20°
