O serii
Americans built a wall that holds back a whole river, a tower that went up in just over a year, and a road that runs across the open sea. In this series you will see eight great American constructions: how they rose, who built them, and what they changed.

1A wall that holds back a river. In Black Canyon, on the Colorado between Nevada and Arizona, a wall of pale concrete drops away like a tower of sixty floors turned upside down, and a whole river waits behind it.
4:18
2The Empire State Building & the skyscraper boom
The race to the sky. Manhattan is small and its land costs a fortune, so New York built upwards: in 1931 a silver spire on one hundred and two floors became the tallest building in the world.
4:16
3A river made by hand. Five hundred and eighty kilometres of straight water across New York State, dug by people and walked by horses, joining Lake Erie to the sea.
4:05
4A concrete river across dry land. A blue line eleven hundred kilometres long, open to the sun and the wind, carrying water right across California's brown fields.
3:21
5Two railroads that met in the middle. In the 1860s, one railroad built east from California and another built west across the plains; in May 1869 they met in Utah, and a journey of months became a journey of a week.
3:46
6The Overseas Highway to Key West
A road across the sea. South of Miami, a road of long bridges hops from island to island for about 180 kilometres to Key West, on the line of a railway that once went to sea.
