Sidu River Bridge (China)
On the other hand, the Sidu River Bridge is the first extra-large suspension bridge built in a mountainous area in China, with a total length of 1365 meters and a height above the ground equivalent to a 200-story building. Its construction was carried out in an amazing way: first using rockets to send cables across to the other side. Although helicopters are often thought to be more efficient, they were impossible due to the location’s conditions.
The advantage of this construction method is that it eliminates the cost of using helicopters and saves time. It was able to cross to the other side in just 3.6 seconds. This innovative method has added a new chapter to the history of bridge construction in the world. And the magnificence of China’s nature further enhances the comfort of driving with the car windows fully open.
