Modernization Has Advanced The Construction And Structural Engineering
Sidu River Bridge , positioned in Hubei province of China, is a suspension route journeying the Sidu River. Construction for the bridge was initiated in 2005 which was accomplished in the year 2009; the one was built at an estimated construction cost of US$ 100 million. The bridge spans an overall distance of 1,222 meters and lengthiest span of 900 meters with width of 24.5 meters whilst the ground clearance is 496 meters crafting it to be the highest bridge in the world.
