Towering Beijiang bridge takes shape

The main section of the Beijiang Grand Bridge, a key project of the Qingxin-Huadu Expressway in Guangdong province, has been successfully linked, laying a solid foundation for its opening by the end of the year.

Construction of the 1,440-meter cross-river bridge, currently the largest four-tower, double-cable-stayed, two-way directional prestressed concrete girder bridge in China, began in October 2022.

Following 48 hours of continuous monitoring of elevation changes, tower cranes and mobile cranes extended their long arms as nearly 56 cubic meters of concrete were poured over a four-hour period in the early morning of May 20, culminating in the successful joining of the bridge.
