With the deck now complete on another record-breaking bridge in China, and the world for that matter, so we are being given an insight astto just how that is done, thanks to a new time-lapse video which makes the engineering marvel look like child’s play.
随着中国乃至世界另一座破纪录桥梁的桥面竣工，我们可以通过一段新的延时视频了解这是如何完成的，该视频使这一工程奇迹看起来像儿戏一样。
The morning of 23 September saw the Nanjing Xianxin Road Cross-River Bridge successfully closed, meaning that the main project for the Bridge was essentially complete.
9月23日上午，南京咸新路跨江大桥顺利合龙，这意味着大桥主体工程基本完成。
Both Nanjing Municipal Party Secretary, Han Liming; and Nanjing Mayor, Chen Zhichang, were in attendance at a ceremony to mark this milestone in the Bridge’s construction.
南京市委书记韩立明；南京市市长陈志昌出席了纪念大桥建设这一里程碑的仪式。
With a total length of 13.17 kilometres, the Nanjing Xianxin Road Cross-river Bridge is situated 4.3 kilometres upstream from the Qixia Shan Yangtze River Bridge and 6.2 kilometres downstream from the Bagua Zhou Yangtze River Bridge.
南京咸新路跨江大桥位于栖霞山长江大桥上游4.3公里，八卦洲长江大桥下游6.2公里，全长13.17公里。
Officially commenced in March 2020, when ultimately opened to traffic next year, the drive from Qixia Avenue to Jiangbei will be shortened from 1 hour to just 10 minutes.
于2020年3月正式动工，明年建成通车后，栖霞大道至江北的车程将由1小时缩短至10分钟。
And given its proximity to Nanjing Chemical Industrial Park, the Bridge will become the first river crossing in Nanjing that will allow use by vehicles carrying hazardous chemicals.
由于该桥靠近南京化学工业园区，因此将成为南京第一条允许运载危险化学品的车辆通行的过河道。
Incorporating a nice local touch, the Bridge’s two main towers, both 263.8 metres high, feature a giant letter “N” as part of the design that anchors together the towers’s two piers.
大桥的两座主塔均高 263.8 米，融入了当地特色，并以一个巨大的字母“N”作为设计的一部分，将塔的两个桥墩固定在一起。
The Bridge is set to become the suspension bridge with the longest span in China, for the time being, and the third longest in the world, bested only by the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge in Turkey and the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Japan.
该桥将成为中国目前跨度最大的悬索桥，也是世界第三长的悬索桥，仅次于1915年建造的土耳其恰纳卡莱大桥和日本明石海峡大桥。
As for that time-lapse video, interested readers can see therein the steel-box girders for the Bridge’s main deck hoisted synchronously from the mid span to the main towers by two 500-tonne cable cranes.
至于这段延时视频，有兴趣的读者可以在其中看到大桥主桥面钢箱梁被两台500吨钢缆起重机从中跨同步吊装到主塔。
