Episode 3Road Warriors63 min
Two master roadbuilders spend decades struggling to create a highway system that connects every city and town in America. It will be the greatest public works project in history--more expensive than two thousand Hoover Dams, three times longer than the Great Wall of China, and with enough pavement for three round trips to the moon.
Episode 4The Panama Canal min
Two powerful nations--France and America--compete to build a path just 50 miles long that will connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Completing it will cost 30 thousand lives, $600 million dollars, and require overcoming every obstacle imaginable--from mudslides to malaria to bankruptcy.
Episode 5Race to the Underground63 min
After the London Underground becomes the first subway system in the world, visionary engineers in New York and Boston vie to build the first one in America. But being first will mean overcoming unprecedented engineering challenges, deadly accidents, fierce political infighting, and the public's fear of the underground. When the dust settles, the American city will never be the same.
