Romania: challenge accepted.
Overseas territories are just as entitled to infrastructure development
And in 15 year it would under water , great !
The Grand Tour had an episode in Reunion. It was pretty cool.
Somebody got big time rich.
At least it’s understandable since it seems a pretty high engineering task but in Romania we had (or still have) the most expensive roads per km and most of them are built in the plains…
Looking at [the map](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/-20.8738412,55.4281564/-20.890892,55.3810119/@-20.8821138,55.3647188,9256m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m2!4m1!3e0), this section that is detached from the land is just west of the regional capital Saint-Denis and it is 5.4 km long, which is about 2.6% of the circumference of the island.
