Padma Bridge spans the river.
At 9 am on December 10, the last steel beam of the Padma Bridge was completed, marking the closure of the bridge, and a new milestone in China’s bridge construction.
Padma Bridge is currently the largest bridge construction project in Bangladesh. With the length of 4.16 kilometers, it is a road-rail bridge, the upper layer is a two-way four-lane highway and the lower layer is a single-track railway.
Padma Bridge is the first road-rail steel truss bridge meeting European standards with fully welded structure and ultra-thick plate. CRSBG undertook all the bridge steel structure production of 125,800 tons and solved the world bridge building problem of the ultra-thick steel plate welding, super-large truss hoisting, three-dimensional assembly, and 3,000-ton transverse beam. The main truss nodes of the bridge adopt a fully welded integral node structure. All the members are connected by welding, which realizes ultra-thick plate welding. The steel plate with a thickness of more than 70 mm accounts for 27.58% of the full bridge steel plates.
It has been five years since the production and manufacturing of the first-span steel truss girder of the Padma Bridge in Bangladesh was officially put into operation by CRSBG in October 2015, and the bridge was successfully closed on December 10, 2020. CRSBG has created miracles one after another with the faith in building a world-class project. Despite of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, they have done a good job in production as well as the epidemic prevention and control, and achieved the goal as scheduled in the fourth quarter, finishing the key missions such as assembly, welding and painting.
