China to build world's longest cable-stayed bridge over Yangtze river
|
12-Nov-2002 - |
Construction of an imposing double-tower cable-stayed bridge over the Yangtze River was launched recently at Nantong, a medium-size booming city in east China's Jiangsu province.
The bridge's main span will be 1,088 meters in length, about 200 meters longer than the world's longest in Japan, and the double towers will reach an unprecedented height of 298 meters. The bridge will be able to resist wind speeds of 47 meters per second, much stronger than typhoon-strength, according to experts.
After a decade of engineering appraisals and studies conducted out by more than 100 Chinese and foreign experts, the Chinese central government approved the construction of the bridge, which will require a total investment of 6.27 billion yuan (755 million U.S. dollars) and it is expected to open to traffic at the end of 2008.
