California is building a $400M shield for Yosemite's most dangerous highway

This article is kind of dramatic about describing a normal thing. Alpine highways everywhere in the world have to deal with this. The entire Mountain West is built for this, including some parts of California.

Maybe the Federal government has never bothered to invest in some aspects of road safety in Yosemite. That’s somewhat embarrassing. I’m surprised this is even an issue in Yosemite given how many other places have had this forever. Far more remote and unpopular highways have addressed this problem.

It is difficult to paint this as anything but incompetence.

>“There’s not anything like this in the world,”

Must've never driven through the Alps I guess. There's something like this every couple km

“He described the new $400 million infrastructure as a colossal ‘tunnel with windows’”

What would an actual tunnel cost in Europe or China?

Man's delusion of mastering nature, nature's reality of mastering man. Fascist strength is illusory.
