'The project, which is called the Hamburger Deckel and is projected to
cost $800 million, comes after 20 years of lobbying from a local
residents' initiative called "Ohne Dach ist Krach" (German for "No Roof,
Too Much Racket"). Burying the highway is a practical way to meet a city
noise abatement ordinance passed in 2005, as the sound barriers built in
most places (including virtually everywhere in the US) can only cut down
on noise by a factor of about half.'
Great idea! Via Maximilian Montserrat and Andres Soolo.
