In Japan if a tree is in the way of road building, they bind the roots and move the tree...
Photo of, square of ground excavated around the tree, there's wooden tracks and cart at the bottom, above which is the tree rooted into a giant cylinder, its surface being a weave of string and a ring of wooden sticks around, looking like a complex wooden object. So, tree, into complex wood-like disc, on top of wooden pile cart thingy, on top of seemingly wooden rails. Standing beside the excavated area are a large number of onlookers wearing helmets.

Indeed.

Or, even better
