Sichuan China's Bridges: Baiyun Bridge in Mianyung (2)

July 2008 (31.4547°N, 104.7177°E) Baiyun Bridge

A view from the deck of the Baiyun Bridge in Mianyung. Unlike some recent tied arches we've studied, this bridge has stiffened girders between the arches. Perhaps that's why there was little damage.

Mianyung was a nice town with little bridge damage but there must have been quite a bit of building damage since there were many relief camps around town.
