We can see some remaining part of the old street how it looks like. It was paved with stones, which was in very bad condition. Some of the other infrastructure is also visible, like the electricity lines that is mainly used for the trams. Other visible information is that this street is crossing the outskirt of the city where there is only residential houses. The street itself is not so wide. The invisible information is the main infrastructures used for the residential houses, like the electricity lines, water pipes, gas pipes, telephone lines. All these infrastructures are carried underground. As it is already done in this case it is important that these infrastructures, like water pipes, gas pipe, electricity lines are carried underground so that it does not disturbs the city view. Though in case of failures/troubleshooting cases it might be more difficult to repair the fault.
