| Abstract: |
Dongshuimen Yangtze River Bridge and Qiansimen Jialing River Bridge, together be called the Twin River Bridges, are designed to carry two tracks of light rail transit and four lanes of highway traffic through three business districts of Chongqing, China. The actual weight of the trains and their intended configuration of the rail transit are used for the design of the bridges. The main spans of these two bridges are 445 m and 318 m, respectively. This article describes the special provisions of the specifications for the design of this dual-function bridge, and the special devices used for light rail transit operations. |
