What are the famous bridge engineering pictures?
Bridges in China
- Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge: With a total length of 55 kilometers, it is the longest sea-crossing bridge in the world. Connecting Hong Kong in the east and Zhuhai and Macao in the west, it is known as the “Everest” in the bridge industry. The bridge has a unique design, integrating bridges, artificial islands and undersea tunnels. The “Chinese knot” shape of Qingzhou Channel Bridge is of profound significance
- Beipanjiang First Bridge: Standing on top of the Beipanjiang Grand Canyon in Guizhou, the height difference from the bridge deck to the bottom of the valley reaches 565 meters. It is an important passage connecting Yunnan and Guizhou provinces and also the world’s highest bridge (current record holder).
- Aizhai Bridge: Located above the Dehang Grand Canyon in Hunan, with a total line length of 1,779 meters and a main span of 1,176 meters, it has turned the “natural moat” into a “thoroughfare” and integrated western Hunan into the “4-hour economic circle” of Hubei, Hunan and Chongqing. The suspension bridge design of the bridge contrasts with the canyon scenery, presenting a spectacular view.
- Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge: It is the first railway-highway dual-use bridge built after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, ending the history of no railway bridge on the Yangtze River. It is the first bridge on the Yangtze River and marks a major breakthrough in China’s bridge construction technology, kicking off the prelude to China’s modern bridge construction.
- Pingtan Strait Railway and Highway Bridge: With a total length of 16.34 kilometers, it is located in a sea area with strong winds, deep water and high waves, which is one of the three famous stormy sea areas in the world. The completion of this bridge reflects China’s advanced technology in bridge construction in complex marine environments.
- Dankuntai Bridge: With a total length of 164.851 kilometers, it is the longest bridge in the world and provides a solid foundation for the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. It spans numerous roads, rivers and lakes, demonstrating China’s strong strength in railway bridge construction.
- Tsing Ma Bridge: It is one of the ten core projects built in cooperation with Hong Kong International Airport. Spanning Tsing Yi Island and Ma Wan, the bridge has a total length of 2,200 meters and a main span of 1,377 meters. It is the longest road-rail dual-use suspension bridge in the world.
Bridges Abroad
- Akashi Kaikyo Bridge: Located between Kobe City on Honshu Island and Awaji Island on Shikoku Island in Japan, with a main span of 1,991 meters and a total length of 3,911 meters, it is currently the suspension bridge with the largest span in the world and also the longest double-deck bridge in the world. It is designed to withstand an 8.5-magnitude earthquake and 80m/s storm once in 150 years at a frequency of 1/150.
- Great Belt Bridge, Denmark: Located between Funen Island and Zealand Island in Denmark, with a total length of 17.5 km. It consists of a railway tunnel across the East Channel, an expressway viaduct and a railway-highway dual-use bridge. The highway bridge is a suspension bridge with a main span of 1,624 meters.
- Humber Bridge, UK: Spanning the Humber River in the UK, between Hessle on the north bank and Barton on the south bank, it was built from 1973 to 1980 and opened to traffic in July 1981. The bridge has a total length of 2,220 meters and a main span of 1,410 meters, which is a long-span suspension bridge.
- Golden Gate Bridge, USA: Located in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, USA, it is one of the world’s famous bridges and also an iconic building in San Francisco. The bridge has a total length of 2,737 meters and a main span of 1,280 meters. The bridge body is brightly red, which is particularly eye-catching against the blue sea and sky.
