The new Ziyun Bridge in Fengcheng City, Jiangxi Province in southeast China, was joined recently by China Railway Major Bridge Engineering Group.
The bridge over the Gan River has five spans, the main one being a self-anchored suspension bridge with a composite girder structure. The double cable planes are supported by two 100m concrete and steel towers that have a characteristic teardrop shape.
