Does anyone know how old this bridge is? From the pictures, it looks like a conventional suspension bridge, but in such situations I always wonder if the architects and engineers were trying anything new. China’s development has been remarkable in recent decades and stunning new buildings and bridges have become common. As far as I know, the safety record has been good, but mistakes can happen when people start chasing novelty.
Yeah, but the learning from the Tacoma Narrows was that you CANNOT have a solid surface across the bridge ... you MUST have someplace to vent the air otherwise you create a wing. Physics don’t change.
