Recently, the Jiayu Yangtze River Highway Bridge invested and constructed by Hubei Investment Group has won the Outstanding Engineering Award of the Global Road Federation, and the category of the award is a design project.

Jiayu Yangtze River Highway Bridge

The Jiayu Yangtze River Highway Bridge, with an investment of 3.144 billion yuan, is located in the Jiayu-Honghu Yan's Nest section of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. It is 4,660 meters in length and is a cross-river passage of the Wuhan City Circle Ring Expressway. The bridge started construction in February 2016 and opened to traffic in November 2019. It is the first cross-river bridge on the bank of the Yangtze River in Xianning 138 kilometers.

In order to adapt to the natural, environmental conditions and use requirements of the bridge site, the Jiayu Yangtze River Bridge is designed with a 920-meter main span, twin towers and double cable plane cable-stayed bridge, which is the world's largest span asymmetric mixed-beam cable-stayed bridge. This design solves various technical problems encountered in the construction of asymmetrical mixed-beam cable-stayed bridges at the kilometer level and forms a number of innovative results.

During the construction process, the Xianning Project Group of Hubei Communications Investment, which is responsible for the specific construction and management of the bridge, strictly controlled quality and safety, continuously innovated technology and process methods, and obtained more than 80 international and domestic innovations. Among them, "Bridge Parametric Design BIM System" won China The first prize of the 9th "Innovation Cup" BIM Competition.

According to reports, the International Road Federation Global Road Achievement Award, established in 2000, is one of the most prestigious honors in the international road industry. Innovative projects and model figures are selected every year to commend them for promoting the road industry to enter the world economy and society. Contributions made in the development frontier. After the opening of the Jiayu Yangtze River Bridge to traffic, it only takes 5 minutes for Jiayu to drive to Honghu Lake, and the freight has been shortened by more than 100 kilometers, making the cities along the Yangtze River in Hubei realize the city-to-city Yangtze River Bridge.
