Jiaxing – Shaoxing River-Crossing Bridge

The total cost of Jiaxing – Shaoxing River-Crossing Bridge construction is 13.9 billion RMB, and investment of bridge part was 6.35 billion RMB. It was completed and ready for traffic in 2012. It is the biggest infrastructure construction project in Shaoxing’s history, and is also another world-class bridge after Hangzhou Bay Bridge in Zhejiang province. As the world-class bridge, Jiaxing-Shaoxing River-Crossing Bridge is difficult construction project with modern design and high technology. Currently this bridge has two world innovations: the longest and widest multispan cable-stayed bridge. Ougan Bi-directional static load test is applied in this bridge successfully, the test pile is with 3.8m diameter and 205000KN load capacity (the biggest capacity of single pile in the world).
