Visitor Guide

Visitor Tip

For the best experience, find a high lookout: long spans need distance to become legible.

Best Photo Spot

From an elevated riverside viewpoint at sunrise or blue hour; haze is common midday, so avoid noon.

Access & Hours

Road bridge; no pedestrian touring. View from shore and lookouts.

Insider Note

Big spans are built twice: once in analysis models, once on site. The erection sequence is as designed as the final form.

Time Needed

30–60 minutes

Design & Structure

Tensile / Membrane
Computational Process

Span and deck system optimized through FEM; construction staging simulated to control geometry, stresses, and cable tuning (where applicable).

Materiality

High-performance steel/concrete components selected for strength-to-weight efficiency and durability.

Structural Innovation

Managing deflection and vibration over long spans is the signature engineering challenge.
