Here’s some info on the Dongshai Bridge in China, one of the longest bridegs on earth. I didn’t know that.
Donghai bridge is one of the largest bridges from the world and also the first bridge over the sea from China which connects Shanghai and Yangshan Island.The famous bridge was officialy opened in 2005 and i t has a length of 32 kilometers.It is also recognized as being the “Suspended Snakeâ€, another name given because of its forme.Even though last year, the bridge was dethroned by another chinese bridge which has 36 kilometres length, the Donghai bridge remains a miracle of technology.Bridge’s height can reach even 420 meters, an amazing view.Here are two cable-stayed sections which allow ships to pass.Travelling with your car, could be a good opportunity to pass the bridge in safety because it has no more and no less than 7 lanes and what’s really impressive to its construction is the structure of cables which sustains the whole constructions. |
