I visited a lamp post on a bridge in tokyo that has been used as the center point for distance measurements for centuries. In the 1960s they built an expressway over it but made sure to suspend a replica of that lamp post over precisely the same spot. It’s a totally gratuitous shrine to infrastructure and I love it
