By Decade

This dimension groups transport infrastructure by the era in which it was completed. Wikipedia describes infrastructure as "the set of facilities and systems that serve a country, city, or other area," and each piece of it belongs to the period that actually built it. Browsing by completion era shows which projects were contemporaries, even across different modes.
