The industrial has yet again taken to the micro-blogging platform to share an impressive timelapse video. It shows an underpass built in the Netherlands during a weekend in May 2016.“The Dutch built a tunnel under a highway in just one weekend! Skills we must acquire. It’s not about labor-saving, but about time-saving. That’s also critical in an emerging economy. Faster infrastructure creation means faster growth & benefits to all,” wrote Anand Mahindra while sharing a video on Twitter. The old video shared Anand Mahindra shows lightning-fast construction where workers demolished a road, installed a tunnel and rebuilt the road in just two days!

The share has also accumulated several comments.Here’s how people reacted to the video:“Dear sir, we also have so many such records. I remember Indian railways constructed underbridge in 24 hours. Agile methodology is the framework. Agile which was earlier limited to software development can now be used everywhere,” posted an individual. Another added, “A similar technology was used to construct a twin tunnel under the busy Pune-Mumbai railway track right in Pune at Akurdi railway station. It took more time, but was more challenging, since no running trains were durbed.” “This is an impressive feat of engineering and project management! implementing innovative approaches like this, emerging economies can accelerate their growth and provide greater benefits to their citizens,” shared a third.
