The main body of a bridge of Xi’an-Chongqing high-speed railway over an expressway linking Yingshan and Dazhou in Sichuan Province was smoothly lowered onto its piers on Friday. This marks the successful completion of the incremental launching construction for China’s first large-span high-speed railway network arch bridge with tied girders, laying a solid foundation for the timely opening of the Xi’an-Chongqing high-speed railway.
The bridge spans 443.1 meters in total length, and the constructed tied-arch bridge section weighs 2,600 tonnes, measuring 147 meters long and 17 meters wide, with an incremental launching displacement of approximately 146 meters over a 10-day construction period.
