| Abstrait: |
The multi-storey Yuen Long Town development in Hong Kong is separated by a live Light Rail Track. To connect the two sides of the development, a footbridge and vehicular bridge has been constructed using a novel construction technique. The footbridge is a 45m long fully enclosed steel warren truss bridge located at a lower level and the vehicular bridge is a 50m long steel concrete composite bridge located at the top of the podium. The erection of each bridge took 3 days. Both bridges were in turn assembled on top of the adjoining podium of the development. They were then connected to a turntable constructed at the edge of the podium and temporarily made into a cantilever cable stay bridge. In an overnight rail possession, the bridges were rotated 120 degrees over the railway. Temporary cables were then removed, and each bridge were lowered by strand jacks to the final level over the next two rail possessions. |
