Back in November, Beijing's Sanyuanqiao Bridge was rebuilt in just 43 hours. Timelapse footage of the building process has recently emerged, showing just how incredible of a feat that is. 

The old beams of the 1,300-tonne Sanyuanqiao were badly damaged due to heavy traffic. Used by more than 200,000 vehicles per day, the bridge connects 48 key routes in Beijing.

With careful and quick planning, the project was able be completed in less than 48 hours.
