- Panorama
The unique design of the Nanning Bridge considers aesthetics, performance, constructability, and
economy. The bridge form provides a funicular through-arch to support a curved span. The arch ribs
and deck girder balance each other's weight to provide a structure both of rational and efficient.
The design is validated by extensive engineering studies addressing overall static and dynamic
system performance, construction stage, and the strength and serviceability requirements of the
structural components. The resulting structure can be described as a daring but rational concept,
supported by prudent engineering and construction execution. The bridge was opened to traffic on
September, 2009.
