The highest bridge in China’s Guangdong province, the Dubu Bridge #1 is a six span prestressed concrete beam bridge with a maximum span length of 410 feet (125 mtrs). The well proportioned piers split into two about halfway up. Maximum pier height is 361 feet (110 mtrs).

Not to be confused with the above bridge, Dubu Bridge #2 is a seven span prestressed beam bridge that curves along the slope of a mountain with a maximum span length of 328 feet (100 mtrs). Maximum pier height is 302 feet (92 mtrs). A long tunnel separates the two structures. You can see a bit of the first bridge and more of the second during the first minute of this video taken by a bus passenger: http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/LESdFORTExI/

The bridges are located about 8 miles (13 kms) and 10 miles (16 kms) south of Yangshan.


中国广东省最高的大桥,独步大桥一号桥是一个6跨连续的混凝土连续梁桥,最大跨径125米。比例设置良好的桥墩在墩身中部向上分为两肢。最高的桥墩110米。

为了和上面的桥不致混淆在一起,杜步大桥二号桥是一个7跨预应力连续梁桥,该桥绕山而建,最大跨径100米。最高桥墩92米。一条长隧道把两座桥梁分离开来。您可以在下面的视频开头部分看到第一座桥的一部分和第二座桥的更多部分。 http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/LESdFORTExI/
