Anthem of CREC—“Trailbreaker”
In 2012, the Nanjing Dashengguan Yangtze River Bridge was awarded the George S. Richardson Medal at the 29th International Bridge Conference (IBC).
Nanjing Dashengguan Yangtze River Bridge is the first six-track high-speed railway bridge in the world. Located at 20km to the upstream of Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, it is a cross-river channel for Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway, Huhanrong fast railway and a 2-lane metro. As the first commenced project of Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway line, the bridge is about 9.3km long, in which the main bridge is about 1.6km. It is not only vital for Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway line, but also an important part of Huhanrong fast railway and Nanjing Railway Hub.
The main bridge is a six-span continuous steel truss arch bridge , which adopts a novel stress system forcing jointly by three trusses and overall bridge deck slab featuring “high speed, large span and heavy load”. The designed speed for the bridge reaches 300km/h. And it is designed to have 3 trains in different speed running at the same time: passenger trains from Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Rail, trains from passenger-cargo Huhanrong Fast Railway (designed speed of 200km/h) and Metro Line 8 (80km/h). It was awarded the “Gorge Richardson Prize” of the 28th International Bridge Conference.
