China builds world’s first steel truss cable-stayed railway bridge

Five-year construction of a double-deck railway bridge in the southwestern Chinese city of Chongqing has come to an end and it is ready to be opened to the public.

The New Baishatuo Bridge, which boasts the world’s first steel truss cable-stayed bridge, is 5.32 kilometers long and will be considered as the main channel for the Chongqing-Guizhou Railway to cross the Yangtze River after the railway line is put in use this January.

According to China Railway Major Bridge Engineering Group, the upper level, which has four tracks, is designed for passenger trains with a projected speed of 200km/h while the lower level has two tracks for freight trains with a projected speed of 120km/h, which has made the bridge reputed as the world’s first double-deck railway bridge.

The bridge will reportedly shorten the travel time between Chongqing and Guiyang in Guizhou Province to two hours from the previous 10 hours.
