Beijing: Amid the nation’s push to perfect its high-speed rail (HSR) network, a key system has made steady headway as the world’s longest ballastless track bridge with continuous girders traversing China’s second-longest river finished casting all ballastless tracks.
Workers from state-builder China Railway No. 4 Engineering Group (CREC4) ushered in the new achievement on the Yellow River Super Bridge, which uses some 43,000 tonnes of steel on its 1,600m-long body, on Oct 24 as part of a north-south HSR linking Xiong’an New Area in North China’s Hebei province with Shangqiu in Central China’s Henan province.
