The main structure is basically completed! Hongze Bridge strives to be completed in May next year

On the afternoon of the 8th, with the successful installation of the last box girder of the Honglai Bridge, it marked the basic completion of the main structure of the Honglai Bridge and a critical step towards its completion and opening to traffic.

The construction site of Honglai Bridge project.

On the same day, the reporter came to the Hongse Bridge construction site and saw a 30-meter-long box girder being transported slowly by a trailer. With the careful operation of on-site workers, the box girder fell steadily on the piers. On the bridge, more than 10 workers are constructing the upper structure of the bridge, and the entire construction site is in good order.

Lin Desen, project manager of the Honglai Bridge, said that the construction of the Honglai Bridge officially started in November 2021. It has successively overcome difficulties such as the epidemic and weather, and now the construction of the main structure has finally been completed.

In addition to adding personnel and mechanical operations, we will hold daily safety meetings, conduct flood prevention safety drills, refine construction plans at all times, and arrange related work. Lindesen said that after the bridge deck construction is completed, guardrails, sidewalks, communication pipe networks, street lights and other supporting construction will be carried out, and 8 cm waterproof concrete and 10 cm asphalt concrete will be laid on the bridge deck.

It is reported that the Honglai Bridge is located in Honglai Town, Nan'an City. It is an important transportation hub for the communication between the old and new towns of Honglai Town, and is also an important channel for connecting Nan'an urban area to Honglai Town. The total length of the bridge is 300 meters. The upper structure uses 10*30.0 meter prestressed reinforced concrete small box girders. The lower structure uses column piers and bored pile foundations. The bridge is 32.5 meters wide and has six lanes in both directions. The project contract period is 30 months.

According to the staff of the Nan'an Municipal Transportation Bureau, the bridge was originally designed to be half-wide for traffic and half-wide for construction. In order to further create a safe and good construction environment, they worked with Honglai Town, project owners and other units to conduct on-site inspections of the traffic status. Study the feasible detour plan and change the half-passage and half-width construction plan to a fully enclosed construction plan, which will help improve construction efficiency, speed up construction progress, and shorten the construction period in a scientific and reasonable manner. ?We will continue to coordinate and supervise the construction units to accelerate the construction of ancillary projects such as bridge deck paving and bridge leads on both sides, and strive to complete it in May 2023. ?

Since the construction of the Honglai Bridge Renovation Project started in November 2021, the Nan'an Municipal Transportation Bureau has followed the principle of "normalizing epidemic prevention and control and safety production with both hands" to overcome epidemic fluctuations and raw material shortages. and other unfavorable factors, we kept a close eye on the node targets, rationally adjusted the construction plan, increased the construction force, and completed this year's annual target tasks more than one month in advance, laying a solid foundation for its early completion and opening to traffic.

The locals were very happy to learn that the Hongze Bridge deck construction had been completed. Huang Xiaojun, a village cadre of Xilin Village in Honglai Town, said that after the completion of the Honglai Bridge, it will be much safer for students of Hongxin Middle School to go to and from school. In addition, it only takes 5 minutes for local enterprise workers and villagers to reach the town, making travel more convenient.
