Construction of China's Shenzhen-Zhongshan Sea Bridge: The Shenzhong Link.

China's Mega Project, The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link Sea Bridge & Tunnel

We return to the world's largest steel girder suspension sea bridge, the Shenzhong Link Bridge and Tunnel Project, today to continue our examination of exceptional engineering. If you thought our West Island trip last summer to see the tunnel's construction was breathtaking, prepare for an even more exhilarating one. Today is my chance to climb the Ling Ding Yang Bridge's highest point. Join me on the catwalk across the bridge's cables with the hardworking people who make it possible. Don't miss this episode's spectacular adventure.

Construction quality and safety are at the center of our journey at the Industrial Training Center for the Shenzhen Link. Psychological decompression, which relaxes workers, and medical experience, fire safety, CPR, and fire extinguisher exercises are available at the center. The VR simulators, including a trap door simulator that gives workers a sense of sudden falls, were one of the most inventive elements.

As morning breaks over the Pearl River Delta, we take a boat excursion to see the Zhongshan Bridge, the tiny sister of this massive edifice. The project's progress since our last visit is evident in the roadway sections now reaching kilometers across the water. QR codes on the girders provide rapid access to segment details, demonstrating the project's transparency and innovation.

The view from the bridge's 270-meter-high pylons is rare. Walking the walkway between the towering pylons and seeing the one-million-ton anchors is a testament to human creativity and engineering prowess.

Beyond the stunning views and architectural feats, this visit highlights the human side of such a gigantic undertaking. The project's commitment to worker well-being is impressive, from air-conditioned rest boxes to battle the heat to the comprehensive living quarters with a fitness center, basketball court, and medical clinic. A resident doctor from Zhongshan Nan Long Hospital prioritizes health and safety, demonstrating a holistic project management approach.

As we complete our day at the Xinjiang Link, I am grateful that I was the only foreigner allowed to climb these heights during construction. This unique opportunity shows the complexities and challenges of producing an engineering marvel. As the project nears completion in 2024, we eagerly anticipate driving the 24 kilometers from junction to Shenzhen airport.

I appreciate your company on this walkabout. Your contribution lets us share these fascinating stories about sophisticated engineering and its makers. Stay tuned for our next adventure, and remember that the trip is as essential as the destination.

Special "Thank You!" to my friend, YiJie for hooking up the amazing drone footage in this video.
