What does 高層ビルに何車線もの道路。mean?


> 高層ビルに **何車線も** の道路。

I don't understand why they would use the word ''road'' talking about
skyscrapers.

I don't entirely get the 何車線も structure either. It reminds me of 何年も but I
still can't understand its meaning.

What does that sentence mean?




> 「高層{こうそう}ビル **に** 何車線{なんしゃせん}もの道路{どうろ}。」

You clearly are unfamiliar with this use of 「に」. You are thinking of "at",
"in", etc., which is why this phrase makes no sense to you.

This phrase makes perfect sense and it is very natural-sounding.

**「に」 here means "and", "in addition to", etc.** That usage can be found even
in Jisho. See definition #8 in:

<https://jisho.org/search/%E3%81%AB>

Onto 「何車線もの」・・

> 「何{なん} + Counter (or Counter-like Noun) + も + の」

means:

> "Multiple + Counter + も + の"

The nuance here is that the speaker/author feels that the number is rather
large (or larger than what one would expect).

When the phrase ends with 「も」, it functions **_adverbially_**.

When it ends with 「も + の」, it functions **_adjectivally_**.

Putting everything together, the phrase in question means:

> "Skyscrapers and multiple-lane streets"

or

> "In addition to the skyscrapers, (there are also) multiple-lane streets"
