Core Points - The Right Bank Avenue North Section project has officially completed the key node, the movable bridge, and has entered the trial operation phase [1][3] - This project is a key initiative in Wuhan's "14th Five-Year Plan" aimed at enhancing the coordinated development of the Wuhan metropolitan area [1][3] - The movable bridge is the first of its kind in Wuhan and the central region of China, designed to elevate to 27 meters during flood seasons to ensure navigation safety [2][5] Project Overview - The Right Bank Avenue North Section spans approximately 7.2 kilometers, with a road width of 40-50 meters and a design speed of 50 km/h [1] - The project integrates multiple functions including flood control, shipping, and urban transportation, connecting major industrial areas [1][3] - The bridge features a total length of 737 meters and a main span of 104 meters, with a standard width of 31 meters [1][5] Engineering and Design - The movable bridge utilizes a lifting mechanism that allows the bridge deck to rise and fall, ensuring sufficient clearance for 5,000-ton vessels during flood periods [5] - The design was chosen after careful consideration of cost, vessel passage, and aesthetic impact on the riverside landscape [4][5] - The bridge is equipped with four sets of hoisting equipment that can elevate the bridge deck in approximately 9 minutes [5] Transportation Impact - The completion of the project significantly reduces travel time from Wuhan's central urban area to the Wuhan Chemical Zone from one hour to just 15 minutes [3] - The bridge accommodates six lanes of traffic, with separate pathways for pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles [5]
