This is inspired by the thread "Which MSA has the most major projects coming up: ATL, HOU, DAL, L.A., Seattle, D.C., Philly, Bos, San Fran, or Chi?."

I'd love seeing different infrastructure projects in different cities around the world. Be it in transportation, commercial, renewable energy plants, theme parks, or another tourist spot.

I hope moderator will allow us to post pictures of renders or AVP's of the projects.

I'll post mine later, I'll try to dig up some information

Or if there's a similar thread, please help to redirect and merge. Thanks!

This one and the one you shared pretty much have American cities covered.

In NYC I would say the 2nd Avenue subway is one of the big infrastructure projects going on now.

The building of "The 2nd Maasvlakte" is the biggest project in Holland right now. A big 2000 hectare (5000 acre) piece of land is build into the sea, attached to the 1st Maasvlakte that was build in the 60's, to expand the Port of Rotterdam. When it's finished, the Port of Rotterdam will be 20% bigger.

Now that's an understatement . I'd say this is some pretty serious construction going on


The Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport Access MRT System,

The planned route starts from Terminal II of Taoyuan International Airport and extends eastward, passing through Luzhu, Linkou, Guishan, Xinzhuang, Sanchong, and finally terminating in Taipei City. From the airport, it will also extend southward passing by THSR Taoyuan Station before terminating in Zhongli.[3] The route will be 51.03 km (31.71 mi)-long with 7 underground stations, 15 elevated stations, and two maintenance depots (Chingpu and Lujhu). Elevated track makes up 40.11 km (24.92 mi) of the total route length.[4] The total budget for the project is NT$93.6 billion.[3] As of late September 2012, the project is 82.64% complete.[5] Upon completion, the line is expected to serve over 143,000 passengers per day.[6] The line will have a maximum operational speed of 100 km/h (62 mph).[7]

Well, that's one of the metro lines under construction, lol.

Btw, the construction started in the 1990s, and it's 2014 now. How efficient.
