Shanghai-Suzhou Yangtze River Railway Bridge is opened to traffic, which is a world-class bridge project. Do you know that?/You know what?

The Shanghai-Suzhou Railway has been put into operation, and the Shanghai-Suzhou Yangtze River Railway Bridge through which trains need to pass has also been completed and opened to traffic. This is the world's first cable-stayed bridge with a main span of 1000 meters, designed and built by China, which is a super project leading the world. Overlooking the blue sky, the Shanghai-Suzhou-Nantong Yangtze River Bridge is like a flowing ribbon around the waist of the Yangtze River.

The bridge starts from Zhangjiagang City, Suzhou in the south and ends in Tongzhou District, Nantong in the north. This is the control project of Shanghai-Suzhou Railway.

Its address is 45 kilometers downstream of Jiangyin Bridge and above Sutong Bridge. It is being built together with intercity railway and Xitong Expressway. Shanghai-Suzhou Railway is a first-class railway with a design speed of 200 kilometers per hour. Tongsujia Intercity Railway is a dedicated passenger line with a speed of 250 kilometers per hour. Xitong Expressway is a two-way six-lane expressway with a speed of 100 km per hour.

The total length of Husutong Yangtze River Highway Railway Bridge is11072m, in which the main bridge is 5827m, the north-south approach bridge is 5245m, and the main span is1092m. It is the world's first four-lane six-lane cable-stayed bridge with a main span of over 1.000 meters, which can meet the navigation needs of 50,000-ton container ships and100,000-ton bulk carriers. After the completion of the bridge, Zhangjiagang will bid farewell to the era of no trains in the past and enter the era of high-speed rail. It will no longer rely on steam to communicate with Nantong, and it will be able to create new opportunities for cross-strait economic and social development.

In the process of bridge construction, the railway units involved in the construction have carried out a lot of scientific research, formed many patented technologies and invented many new construction methods, and made great progress in bridge construction technology, which is a milestone in the history of railway construction in China. After the Shanghai-Suzhou Railway is officially put into operation, the real-time monitoring system that can detect the health status of the bridge will be put into use at the same time.
