China's longest continuous swivel road bridge over a railway in Hefei City, east China's Anhui Province, has successfully rotated its final beam into position early Saturday morning. 🏗️
Spanning an impressive 554 meters and weighing 60,000 tons, the bridge features four continuous beams over the railway, with the last rotation completing by the end of September. 🎉
This multi-part bridge is a crucial component of a cross-provincial highway connecting Chuzhou City in Anhui Province with Zhoukou City in Henan Province. The successful rotation of the last beam moves the highway one step closer to becoming fully operational. 🚀
Once completed, the highway is set to enhance connectivity between Hefei and major eastern and central Chinese cities like Nanjing, Hangzhou, and Zhengzhou. This infrastructure development is significant for Hefei's integration into the Yangtze River Delta, fostering economic growth and regional cooperation. 🌐🏙️
