The last beam of China's longest continuous swivel road bridge over a railway was successfully rotated into position in Hefei City, east China's Anhui Province, in the early hours of Saturday.
The 554-meter-long 60,000-ton bridge includes four continuous beams spanning the railroad below. Three of them had completed rotation before the end of September.
The multi-part bridge is part of a cross-provincial highway linking Chuzhou City in Anhui Province with Zhoukou City in central China's Henan Province. The successful rotation of the last bridge beam will bring the highway one step closer to being fully operational.
The highway is expected to strengthen the connectivity between Hefei and other major eastern and central cities including Nanjing, Hangzhou and Zhengzhou, which is of great significance for Hefei to accelerate its integration into the Yangtze River Delta integrated development.
