Chinese Bridges

Post by bothar »

There seems to all sorts of magnificent constructions in China. In this case, the temporary construction bridge is itself a thing of wonder. It is a 300m high suspended iron chain bridge with no piers & no cable-stayed ropes: just 4 sets of ropes to provide horizontal tension. It can withstand the weight of a 45-tonne truck.
