Chinese workers are constructing an impressive railroad bridge in an area that has been considered a 'no-go zone' for bridge builders.


The £1.2 billion Pingtan Strait Railroad Bridge spans across the extremely rough sea off the coast of south-east China, a region that has apparently seen the mysterious disappearances of many jets and boats and is dubbed the 'Bermuda Triangle of Asia'.


Chinese engineers, who started on the project in 2013, are confident that they could complete the colossal traffic link next year. And not only that, they have planned to run high-speed trains above the notoriously choppy waters.






Not far from the bridge are Penghu Islands, a Taiwanese archipelago which sparked the Bermuda horror in 2008 after multiple commercial and military aircraft had mysteriously crashed, said an earlier report.

After 85 freight and passenger ships went missing in a small stretch near China in 2016, theories emerged suggesting the waters off southern China, Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines could be a new Bermuda Triangle, according to express.co.uk.

Despite all, the Chinese are determined to do the impossible.

In order to conquer the impossible maritime conditions, Chinese engineers designed a team of monster bridge-building machines for workers to construct the Pingtan bridge.

The mammoth Pingtan Strait Railroad Bridge connects Pingtan Island and its nearby islets to the mainland of Fujian Province.



According to stats provided by Chinese state media, the two-level structure is a whopping 11 kilometres long (6.8 miles) - 45 times longer than the Tower Bridge in London, or six times longer than the Brooklyn Bridge in New York.

To build the entire bridge, workers will need to use 300,000 tonnes of steel and 2,660,000 cement - enough for building eight Burj Khalifa towers in Dubai, the world's tallest skyscraper.

Set to have an eight-lane highway on the top and a high-speed railway at the bottom, the two-level structure would be the first railroad bridge in China built over the sea and is designed to support bullet trains travelling as fast as 200/kmh (124/mph).

The construction conditions, however, are unprecedentedly challenging.

Why was I born in an unstable country

maybe we should beg China to colonize us make person self see progression for him lifetime

If, only if Nigeria government were to handle a project like this, $600b will never be enough to complete the project in 8years (2 tenure) & the project will be eventually abandon!

Meanwhile, in Nigeria, they are yet to start or even complete road projects that where commissioned since 1999 are yet to be completed, progress on the Second Niger Bridge as stalled and many others.

But there is enough money to be looted, swallowed by snakes, stored in apartments, deposited in warehouses or foreign fictitious companies, shared in the heat of elections etcetera etcetera.

Every country will be close to the peak of their prosperity and would make the best of it, but in Nigeria the opposite will be the case. Even if crude oil was $1000 per barrel for 2 years, there will be nothing to show for it.

Its a pity.

Why was i born in this shithole of a country, God why me....

I LOVE CHINA

Naija whyyy
