29,000-ton bridge rotates successfully in Jining
JINING, China, July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

A report from Global Times Online: 

A bridge, weighing 29,000 tons with a length of 170 meters, was successfully 
rotated to its targeted position in Jining, East China's Shandong province on 
July 11.

In 66 minutes, the bridge rotated above the Xinxiang-Yanzhou Railway, so as to 
not interfere with the railway below.

The bridge, built by Railway No. 10 Engineering Group, is the largest 
T-structure road swivel bridge in Shandong to date in terms of its length and 
weight. It is a part of a new expressway that connects Weishan in Jining with 
the provincial capital Jinan.

The southern section of the Jinan-Weishan Expressway, one of Shandong's key 
projects, is 59.7 kilometers long, has two-way four-lane standards, and has a 
designated speed limit of 120 km per hour. This design will help to integrate 
the development of the provincial capital economic circle and western Shandong.

The swivel construction technique has been widely used in China to build 
bridges. The approach expedites construction while assisting in overcoming 
environmental and traffic-related limitations.
