Construction of mega cross-gorge bridge in China makes breakthrough

Описание: Construction of one of the world's longest span suspension bridges has passed a major milestone with the Jin'an Jinshajiang Bridge in southwest China's Yunnan Province completing closure on Wednesday, signifying a big step towards the completion of the mega-construction project.

The steel-girder suspension bridge has a main span of 1,386 meters and will be the world's largest span suspension bridge in a mountainous region once completed later this year. Located across the famous Tiger Leaping Gorge, the bridge has a maximum vertical-drop distance of 330 meters between the bridge deck and the Jinsha River below, with the distance between the top of its main tower and the river surface-reaching 500 meters.
