Transit. This construction set a world record for the construction of a railway bridge pier with a turning height of 41.4 meters and a single weight of 7350 tons.

 

According to Liu Zubin, project manager of China Railway 11th Bureau, the Longchuan River Third Line Bridge is located in Chuxiong Prefecture, Yunnan Province, with a total length of 460.8 meters. Because the bridge will cross the existing Chengdu-Kunming Railway, the risk of safe construction is high.

After the completion of the whole line, the passenger and cargo transportation capacity in the southwest region will be greatly improved.
