Sichuan China's Bridges: Jiangxi Street Bridges in Chengdu (2)

July 2008 (30.649 Degrees, 104.058 Degrees) Jiangxi Street Bridges

A closer look at the Jiangxi Street Bridges. There are several arch ribs similar to girders supporting the deck on the lower bridge. Also, the engineer must have felt the need for additional struts to support the deck close to the abutments.

The taller bridge appears to swoop up and over the river before putting cars back down onto the street.
