China's longest continuous swivel road bridge over railway successfully rotated into position

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 which had already completed rotation by the end of September.

This 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 brings the highway one step closer to becoming fully operational.

The highway is expected to strengthen connectivity between Hefei and other major cities in eastern and central China, including Nanjing, Hangzhou and Zhengzhou. This connectivity is of great significance as it will help Hefei accelerate its integration into the Yangtze River Delta integrated development.
