EN: Flyover; overpass.
That giant concrete snake that's supposed to solve traffic but sometimes feels like it just moves the traffic jam 500 meters forward. It's your best friend during a carmaggedon-free day and your worst enemy when you're stuck on top of it with an empty gas tank. Also a great place to see the city lights, if you're into that 'romanticizing pollution' aesthetic.
