World-height record: China's bridge over 625 meters high open in June!
in the province of Guizhou, in the southwest of China, is the largest bridge in the world - the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge. With an impressive height of 625 meters above the Beipan Jiang river, she will not only replace the Beipanjiang Bridge, but also towering over the Eiffel Tower with its 324 meters and the Viaduct of Millau with 343 meters. The opening of the bridge is planned for June 2025, and it is part of an infrastructure initiative that aims to better connect remote areas, as https://www.vol.at/hoechste-bruecke-der-welt-in-china-625-meter-ueber-dal/9442430) reports.
The construction of the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge began on January 18, 2022 and is expected to be completed in a construction period of 3.5 years. According to the chief engineer Zhang Shlin, the overall project has already been completed. With a total length of 2,890 meters, this steel college suspension bridge will enable a reduction in traffic from one hour to just about one minute over the canyon area. This increase in efficiency is particularly important for the regions, which were previously disadvantaged by inadequate infrastructure.
architectural details of the bridge
The technical superiority of the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge is not only in height, but also in its construction. The bridge is designed in such a way that it consists of clamping concrete bar bridges that are distributed via different pylons. The southern pylon measures 205 meters and is equipped with an elevator system for visitors. These elevators will accommodate two glazed cabins that lead to a star gazing bar and café that is 145 meters above the street level.
The bridge will also offer an attractive destination for tourists. Pedestrian paths are planned that lead to a restaurant and lounge with glass floors. A special highlight will be a platform for bungee jumping directly above the river, which should increase the adventure feeling of the visitors. The entire construction is supported by a total of 22,000 tons of steel, which also indicates the massive engineering challenge, which is connected to the construction of this bridge, as [wikipedia
construction projects and challenges
The construction of large bridges is not only a challenge in China, but also in other countries, where there are often delays. The article by [dba-bau.com] (https://www.dba-bau.com/news/brueckenbau-in-de-warum-zo-verzo-zover-hier-zur-tagenge-gehoeren-undwie-es-Besser-Besser-Besser-Besser-Besser-Besser-Besser-Besser-Besser-Besser-Besser-Besser-Beser-Beser-Beser-Beser-Beser-Beser-Besher- In China, on the other hand, bridge construction is implemented much more efficiently by clear government guidelines and focused planning.
The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge will not only represent a technical masterpiece, but also become a tourist attraction that will offer visitors breathtaking views and experiences. The construction has already sparked great international interest and will surely be one of the most important engineering projects of the decade.
