The steel beams of the North Channel Bridge of the Hangzhou Bay Cross-sea Railway Bridge have started to be installed.

On November 15th, on the sea surface about 0.4 kilometers off the coast of Haiyan in Hangzhou Bay, Zhejiang Province, a 626-ton steel beam was accurately erected on Pier 8 with the lifting of a floating crane ship. This marks the beginning of the installation of steel beams on the north channel bridge of the Hangzhou Bay Cross-Sea Railway Bridge, which is managed and constructed by the Shanghai-Hangzhou Passenger Special Line Company and China Railway Bridge Bureau, officially entering the upper structure construction phase. The Hangzhou Bay Cross-Sea Railway Bridge is a key project of the high-speed railway from Nantong to Ningbo, located about 7 kilometers upstream of the existing Hangzhou Bay Cross-Sea Highway Bridge, with a total length of 29.2 kilometers. It consists of three channel bridges in the north, central, and south, as well as 26 kilometers of approach bridges, and is designed for double-track ballastless tracks with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, making it a major project of super-long and high-speed railway bridges.
