“Saving half an hour.” That’s what they said about the \u8398\u6c40\u4e2d\u6865. Welcome to the magnificent \u8398\u6c40\u4e2d\u6865 a bridge that is more than just a connection. It represents progress and innovation.
This super-large suspension bridge opened to traffic in 2019. It quickly became an essential part of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The \u8398\u6c40\u4e2d\u6865 is not just any bridge. It is the world’s widest steel box girder suspension bridge.
Consider its scale. The bridge stretches 12.9 km in length. Its width measures an impressive 40.5 m. Eight traffic lanes ensure a smooth flow of vehicles. This design allows for a maximum speed of 100 km per hour.
The \u8398\u6c40\u6865\u4e2d is built to last. Its estimated service life is a remarkable 100 years. The bridge significantly reduces travel time. It shortens the journey from Guangzhou to Dongguan by 10 km. This shaves off about half an hour of travel time.
Mageba played a crucial role in the construction of this mega project. They installed 41 m TENSA-MODULAR expansion joints of type LR24. Each joint features 24 individual gaps. These facilitate movements of up to 1920 mm.
Traffic safety is a priority. The entire steel surface is treated with an anti-skid surfacing. This ensures high traffic safety even in wet conditions.
One side of the expansion joints connects to the steel box girder. The other side connects to the concrete approach bridge. This design accommodates the bridge’s movements and rotations. It features a two-way moveable design for enhanced durability.
