Hanjiang Yiqiao resumed traffic at 11 pm on September 20

Hubei Daily Client News (All -Media Correspondent Zhao Yiran Correspondent Chen Xin Gan Xingxing) On September 19th, it was learned from the Xiangyang Housing and Urban Construction Bureau that after 50 days of intense operations, the Hanjiang One Bridge will be opened to traffic at 11 pm on September 20. At that time, the past pedestrians, non -motorized vehicles, small cars and 8 buses of the past passed through the Hanjiang River Bridge were resumed after a brief "parting".

As the first cross -river bridge in Xiangyang City, the Hanjiang One Bridge was opened to traffic on May 20, 1970. It has been running safely for 52 years. The emergence of a bridge of the Hanjiang River ended the history of the people crossing the river on both sides of the Han River, and also made a significant contribution to the travel and urban economic development of Xiangyang citizens. This maintenance is the first two -way sealing bridge maintenance of the Hanyu Bridge Highway Bridge in 52 years.

"In order to ensure the construction period, the construction of the partitioning operations and flowing operations were adopted by the partitioning operations. Zeng Wenfeng, deputy manager of Xiangyang Hanjiang Bridge Highway Bridge Maintenance and Reinforcement Project, told reporters. From August 1st, the work of bridge deck has continued for 50 days, and more than 70 workers have invested in solid work.

At the site of the Hanjiang River Bridge, the reporter saw that bridge surface concrete and asphalt paving, guardrail steel component replacement coating protection, expansion joint replacement and other bridge maintenance projects have been completed smoothly. Zhang Hu, director of the bridge management center of Xiangyang Housing and Urban -Rural Development Bureau, said that there were 18 pieces of bridge telescopic joints. After the maintenance and renovation, a three -span continuous telescopic joint was taken to reduce two -thirds of the telescopic joints. It also reduces the possibility of expansion joint damage. For example, the seepage of rainwater is very large to the erosion of the bridge, and reducing the telescopic joint can reduce the erosion and damage of the underwater seepage to the beam body.

According to reports, the maintenance and reinforcement project includes the construction of the upper and lower parts, and opening the traffic does not mean that the overall construction is completed. After the recovery, the staff will continue to improve some details of the bridge surface. At the same time, speed up the construction of the lower structure to ensure that it is fully completed before December 26.
