Chapter 310 The tallest bridge in the world

As the country's economy continues to rise, many large-scale infrastructure projects have also appeared in front of the world.

For example, the stunning Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is the longest cross-sea bridge in the world.

But in Su Chen's impression, there is a bridge that is far more shocking than the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.

This is the Beipanjiang Bridge in Guizhou, which is the most advanced bridge not only in our country but also in the world.

Beipanjiang Bridge is the tallest bridge in the world, with a height of 200 stories. Its majestic appearance is unforgettable at first sight.

As the saying goes, eight of the ten high bridges in the world are in Guizhou, which shows how densely populated Guizhou is.

Since Guizhou is mostly surrounded by mountains, it seriously hinders local people’s travel.

Therefore, building bridges has become the main way to clear the local traffic environment, and the construction of the Beipanjiang Bridge is to make travel more convenient for local people.

The construction of this bridge can directly shorten the driving time from Guizhou to Yunnan to one hour.

He can also understand why foreigners are not optimistic about it.

"The construction of the Beipanjiang Bridge began in 2013. The design and construction work was jointly undertaken by the China West China Design Institute and the China Railway Construction Corporation, with a total investment of 10 billion yuan."

“When the Beipanjiang Bridge was completed, American experts were surprised and shocked.”

"They spoke highly of the strength of Chinese engineers and construction workers and said that China has led the development of global construction technology and they need to learn from China."

"Wumeng Mountain in western Guizhou is a typical landform development zone with steep ravines and numerous caves."

"It is 100 meters higher than the highest bridge in foreign countries, the Haijiao Canyon Bridge, and successfully aspires to be the world's tallest bridge."

"Secondly, the Beipanjiang Bridge needs to withstand natural environmental factors such as huge currents and wind."

"However, through the diligent efforts of Chinese engineers and construction workers, all difficulties were overcome."

"The Beipanjiang River in the mountains separates Yunnan and Guizhou, causing great trouble for people in the two places to travel."

But in the past, it would take more than five hours to drive between the two places.

The Beipanjiang Bridge not only once again demonstrates China's strong strength in the field of infrastructure, but also plays a very good role in external publicity.

"In June 2016, the entire bridge was opened to traffic, significantly reducing the time between Liupanshui City and Xuanwei City from five hours to one hour."

The purpose of its construction is to improve the traffic conditions in the southwest region and promote economic development.

"However, the construction of the world's tallest bridge has not been approved by everyone."

"Building this world-class bridge is not an easy task. It has countless difficulties and challenges."

"Finally, the bridge has a complex structure and extremely high technical requirements."

Building such a difficult bridge between valleys is an impossible miracle.

The construction of this bridge set a Guinness World Record for its height above the ground.

He knew without guessing that the Beipanjiang Bridge was built at the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou.

Yunnan and Guizhou are two provinces with underdeveloped economies. Building a bridge connecting the two places can effectively improve the communication conditions between Yunnan and Guizhou and promote the vigorous economic development of the southwest region.

"At the beginning of the construction of this bridge, some American experts said."

The construction of Beipanjiang Bridge has won more than ten national patents and received many international bridge awards. It is a well-known bridge renowned at home and abroad.

"The vertical height from the bridge deck to the valley bottom is 565 meters, which is equivalent to the height of a 200-story building."

Although the construction of the Beipanjiang Bridge was extremely difficult, with the support of advanced technology and large-scale equipment, the bridge was successfully completed.

After the completion of the Beipanjiang Bridge, the difficult transportation situation between the two places will be completely reversed.

"At the end of 2014, the main structure of the main bridge was completed."

The southwest region is mountainous, local transportation is inconvenient, and people live in poverty.

He believes that the reason why later generations built the Beipanjiang Bridge was not to show off the capabilities of infrastructure projects to the world.

Based on his understanding of later generations of government, he decided to build a bridge between Guizhou and Guizhou to improve people's lives and completely solve the people's poverty problem.

Li Shimin: The construction of the Beipanjiang Bridge is of great significance to the people of Yunnan and Guizhou.

"Scientists used many cutting-edge technologies and experienced countless setbacks to finally make this mission, which was originally considered impossible, a reality."

"They also claimed that even if construction could be completed, the bridge would not last long and would not be able to withstand heavy traffic and natural disasters."

“It only took three years from start to finish.”

Therefore, the Beipanjiang Bridge has the same status as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. It can be called a miracle project in the history of Chinese bridges and a landmark project in the history of world bridges.

"The entire construction process only took three years, which is an astonishing speed around the world and is known as a miracle in the history of Chinese construction."

"First of all, the construction site is located in a deep valley with high mountains and ridges, and transportation is very inconvenient."

“The Beipanjiang Bridge, located in Guizhou Province, China, has become recognized domestically and internationally as the world’s tallest bridge in recent years.”

"This suspension bridge spanning the Beipanjiang Gorge has a total length of 1341 meters."

This not only facilitates the travel of local people, but also promotes exchanges between the two places and promotes the economic development of the two places.

"To complete such a large-scale project in just three years is simply a fantasy."

"However, this bridge cost over $10 billion."

After all, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that someone could build a bridge between towering canyons.

Anyone who understands the local geographical conditions will shake their heads and think it is impossible.

But in the end, it was later generations who succeeded in creating miracles that shocked the world.

Not only did he slap him in the face, but he also slapped the faces of those foreigners who were not optimistic about him.

But he's more than happy to get slapped in the face, and the more of them the better.

He knew that even for future generations, the Beipanjiang Bridge would be a very challenging project.

It must have been that tens of thousands of experienced construction workers struggled for thousands of days and nights in the southwest canyon before the Beipanjiang Bridge was finally born.

He could guess how difficult it was.

But fortunately, future generations were not afraid of difficulties and obstacles and just created impossible miracles, which deeply admired him.

"The twin-tower cable-stayed structure is a common bridge structure, and its design concept is to use two towering towers as the main support."

"The bridge deck is connected to the tower columns through numerous cable-stayed cables. This structure is widely used in modern bridge construction."

“Not only can it meet long-span and high-strength requirements, it can also beautify the urban environment and become a landmark building.”

"The design advantage of the twin-tower cable-stayed structure is that it can withstand larger horizontal and vertical loads."

"Because the tension of the cable stays is dispersed to the tower columns, the pressure of the entire bridge structure is balanced, ensuring the stability and safety of the bridge."

"At the same time, the number of stay cables can be adjusted as needed to meet different load requirements."

"The twin-tower cable-stayed structure has a beautiful shape, high artistic taste and economic benefits."

"Because the bridge deck is suspended above the tower columns, it not only reduces the weight of the bridge deck itself, but also makes the bridge appear lighter."

"In addition, twin-tower cable-stayed structures are often designed in a Y- or X-shape."

"And use lighting design to highlight the city's night scene."

"But the construction of the twin-tower cable-stayed structure is more difficult and requires superb construction technology."

“During the construction process, it is necessary to consider the close cooperation and collaboration between various parts to avoid problems such as tower column tilt and cable stay inequality.”

"At the same time, the selection of stay cables also requires precise calculations and measurements to ensure their quality and safety."

"There are many famous twin-tower cable-stayed bridges in the world, such as my country's Sutong Yangtze River Highway Bridge."

"It was completed and opened to traffic in June 2008. Its central span is 6 meters and the cable length reaches 1088 meters. It cost nearly 577 billion yuan to build."

"At that time, it was not only the most difficult bridge construction in the history of our country, but also the largest large-scale bridge."

"This bridge also set four world records and became the longest cable-stayed bridge in the world at that time."

"It is worth mentioning that the Beipanjiang Bridge adopts the most advanced structural design and construction technology."

"Its main structure adopts a twin-tower cable-stayed structure design, which makes the bridge more stable and stronger."

"The height of the two main towers of the Beipanjiang Bridge has reached more than 300 meters, due to the strong wind in the canyon."

"To ensure the stability of the bridge, the main tower's structural design uses very strong reinforced concrete materials."

"The main cables of the Beipanjiang Bridge are made of high-strength steel cables. Due to the large height and span of the main tower, thousands of meters of main cables are needed to support the entire bridge."

"In addition, the bridge's suspension cables also use high-strength steel cables to ensure the stability and safety of the bridge."

"The foundation and support structure of the Beipanjiang Bridge also adopt advanced technology and engineering methods."

"The foundation of the bridge uses concrete suspended piles and reinforced concrete piles to ensure the stability of the bridge under complex geological conditions."

“In addition, the bridge’s support structure adopts a combination of steel structure and concrete structure to ensure the strength and stability of the bridge.”

Li Chun: The difficulty of building the Beipanjiang Bridge is definitely more difficult than climbing to the sky. It is amazing that future generations can successfully build it.

The Zhaozhou Bridge he built was also extremely difficult, but it was not at the same level as the Beipanjiang Bridge.

There are many mountains in the Yunnan-Guizhou region, and they have formed their own special landforms.

Moreover, the terrain between the two peaks is too steep. When you look up, you can see the sky, but when you look down, you can see the abyss.

So it can be imagined that the site selection work alone is very difficult.

And due to geological reasons, the hardness of the rock formations in the mountains is also very different, and there are many large and small caves inside.

There seems to be no problem when people stand on it, but building a bridge is different. All hidden dangers must be eliminated. So he didn't need to think too hard to know that just the site selection work would take a long time, and it was normal for it to take a year and a half.

To finalize the site selection, descendants need to travel to all the mountains and have a very detailed understanding of the local landforms.

The most suitable address for building a bridge can be selected based on the local environment, the hardness of the soil and rock formations, the caves in the mountains, etc.

After the site selection is determined, there is one last issue before construction, which is the structure of the bridge.

In their era, the only way to build bridges at high altitudes was to use suspension bridge structures.

But in the video, what he saw was another novel bridge structure.

This kind of bridge structure, which uses iron cables to pull up the bridge, is obviously more difficult to construct than a suspension bridge.

The whole preparation alone was difficult, but actually the real difficulty had just begun.

As a bridge built in a mountain, the most difficult thing is undoubtedly the transportation of construction materials.

He clearly knows that the traffic in Guizhou is extremely inconvenient and can be described as congestion.

Although he didn't know how future generations solved the problem of transportation routes, it must have been the Eight Immortals who crossed the sea and showed their magical powers and thought of everything they could think of.

In addition to transportation problems, the life problems of construction workers are also very difficult.

The first is the issue of water sources. Workers’ daily labor demands for water are undoubtedly extremely huge.

In the Beipanjiang Valley where traffic is cut off, it is definitely not practical to transport water from outside.

Not only will a lot of energy be wasted, but time will also be consumed in transporting water sources.

So according to his guess, later generations should have solved the water source problem by pumping water from the Beipan River below.

The problem of water source was solved, and then there were the problems of electricity and housing.

In short, various problems arise in endlessly, and it takes a lot of time just to solve these problems.

Of course, these preparations before starting work are not the most difficult.

The most difficult part of the entire construction process was the construction of the bridge at high altitude.

Because the wind in the sky is very strong, it is easy to cause deviations, and the success is likely to fall short.

In short, it is unimaginably difficult to successfully build the Beipanjiang Bridge.

But what pleased him was that later generations solved these difficulties and obstacles one by one, and finally succeeded in creating a miracle.

"The successful construction of the Beipanjiang Bridge has had a huge impact on the local economy and transportation."

"The construction of the Beipanjiang Bridge has brought a large inflow of investment and talent to the local area, which will help promote the development of the local economy."

"In addition, the construction of the bridge has also created a large number of job opportunities and increased the income level of local residents."

"At the same time, the construction of the Beipanjiang Bridge has greatly improved local transportation."

"Previously, local residents could only travel between the two sides through winding mountain roads or rivers. This traffic condition was very poor."

"The construction of the bridge provides local residents with a more convenient, faster and safer transportation route."

"During the construction of the Beipanjiang First Bridge, a smart concrete was developed."

"It can automatically flow and evenly fill the space in the mold, which not only ensures quality but also saves construction costs."

"The designers of Beipanjiang No. 1 Bridge used cloud technology to develop and establish a comprehensive information platform for bridge management and maintenance that integrates construction, management and maintenance."

"Through the sensors installed on the bridge, the bridge's cable towers, bridge deck and other data are transmitted to the bridge basic information cloud and bridge monitoring and maintenance information cloud."

“Then the analysis and decision cloud analyzes the previously transmitted data and sends the data to the managers’ mobile phones and tablets.”

"In addition, the construction of the Beipanjiang Bridge has also brought new opportunities to the local tourism industry."

"The bridge is built halfway up the mountainside and the surrounding scenery is beautiful, providing visitors with an excellent perspective of the beautiful scenery of canyons, peaks and cliffs."

"In addition, the construction of the bridge has also brought new development opportunities to the local tourism industry and increased tourism revenue."

Zhu Di: The successful construction of the Beipanjiang Bridge is of great significance to the people in both places.

In the isolated Yunnan-Guizhou region, building such a bridge is definitely of extraordinary significance.

In his view, the construction of the Beipanjiang Bridge not only brought convenience to cross-strait transportation, but also provided important experience and technical support for bridge construction in mountainous areas in China.

As we all know, the Yunnan-Guizhou region is mountainous and the transportation is extremely inconvenient.

The successful construction of the Beipanjiang Bridge will inevitably lead to the construction of more bridges in the Yunnan-Guizhou region to communicate with the outside world.

Once the Beipanjiang Bridge is completed, its spectacular scenery will be famous all over the world.

When standing on the bridge, overlooking the canyons and deep valleys under the bridge, you feel as if you are in mid-air, feeling relaxed and happy.

It can be said that the transportation convenience of Beipanjiang Bridge is one of its biggest advantages.

Due to its geographical importance, the bridge connects Guizhou and Yunnan, two areas with inconvenient transportation, making transportation between the two places faster and more convenient.

This not only promotes economic development and trade, but also strengthens cultural exchanges and personnel flows between the two places.

In addition to convenient transportation, there are many other tourist attractions and food specialties waiting for tourists around Beipanjiang Bridge.

Because the bridge spans the Beipan River and connects Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, it has become an excellent tourist attraction.

It goes without saying that many tourists will come here to admire this world-class bridge and the surrounding natural landscape.

However, the Beipanjiang Bridge is not only a link between transportation and tourism, but also has important strategic significance.

It connects the two provinces of Guizhou and Yunnan, providing an important channel for economic cooperation and cultural exchanges between the two provinces.

After the construction of the bridge is completed, the economic development of the two provinces will definitely receive a huge boost.

Guizhou and Yunnan, both located on the western border, are rich in resources and have huge development potential.

The construction of the Beipanjiang Bridge has facilitated cooperation between the two provinces, allowing economic cooperation and cultural exchanges to unfold more smoothly.

To sum up, the Beipanjiang Bridge is a very important bridge with transportation, economic and cultural significance.

"The Beipanjiang Bridge, the world's tallest bridge, was not only completed in just three years, but also made some American experts feel unprecedented embarrassment."

"The completion of this bridge demonstrates mankind's great breakthroughs in the field of science and technology, and allows mankind to witness the miracle of the impossible becoming possible."

"After the Beipanjiang Bridge is completed, it will be of great significance to China and the world."

"First of all, it changed the economic development pattern of China's north and south."

"It connects the transportation between southwestern regions such as Yunnan and Sichuan and southern coastal regions such as Guizhou and Guangdong, shortening travel time and promoting economic development."

"Secondly, it has also become one of the masterpieces of China's engineering construction, reflecting China's superb technology and strong strength."

"In this age of seemingly endless possibilities, building a super bridge doesn't seem to be that difficult."

"However, when we heard about the world's tallest bridge, which cost more than 10 billion yuan and was completed in just three years, we couldn't help but feel shocked and amazed."

"This victory once again proves the strength of China's engineering technology, and also makes other countries in the world begin to re-examine China's infrastructure engineering capabilities."

"And this bridge is not only a great project, but also a symbol of national confidence."

"It gives us more confidence to move forward on the road ahead."

"From the construction of this super bridge, we can see the power and wisdom of mankind."

"Even when we face many difficulties, we can overcome them with courage, determination and innovation."

“This is not just an engineering capability, it’s a human strength.”

"In short, the completion of the world's tallest bridge is not only a victory for China's engineering technology, but also a victory for the innovative spirit and unity and cooperation of all mankind."

"No matter what challenges we may encounter in the future, mankind should take inspiration from the construction of this bridge and bravely meet and overcome them."

The successful construction of the Beipanjiang Bridge has made people of all dynasties and generations envious.

Especially the people in the Yunnan-Guizhou region of various dynasties stared at the Beipanjiang Bridge in the video, and the extreme longing in their eyes was clearly revealed.

They have been trapped there for generations due to traffic jams.

It is precisely because of this that they stare at the Beipanjiang Bridge with red eyes.

The completion of Beipanjiang River can bring many benefits, but what they will never forget are the bridge builders who opened roads over mountains and built bridges over water.

To build a bridge between mountains, one can imagine the difficulties experienced during the construction of the bridge.

Just looking at the length, height, strong winds, heavy fog, heavy rain, and harsh natural environment, they can tell how big a challenge it is to successfully build the bridge.

But later generations of bridge builders overcame difficulties one after another and finally succeeded in completing this feat.

How they hope that these great bridge builders can also help them build a bridge, so that they can escape from poverty and slowly live a good life.

Because they know very well that once the bridge is built, it will bring them many benefits.

It can bring great convenience to the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and greatly improve their production and living conditions.

People from Yunnan and Guizhou live on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Because the way forward is blocked by huge deep valleys, it takes a lot of time to cross the mountains between the two places.

Once there is a bridge, the natural chasm will be transformed into a thoroughfare, and the time for cross-strait travel will be greatly shortened.

If they can also own the Beipanjiang Bridge, that will bring them a second benefit.

The scenery on both sides of the Beipanjiang River is beautiful, with beautiful mountains and rivers and steep cliffs and valleys.

Coupled with the cloudy and foggy weather, the Beipanjiang Bridge is like being in a fairyland.

This will definitely make this place a tourist destination and drive the development of the local economy.
