en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, the last box girder of the highway-railway overpass bridge, part of the Hengde Expressway reconstruction and expansion project in Hebei, China, undertaken by Urban and Rural Construction Group, was precisely and smoothly hoisted into place. This slab was not only the last one erected for the connecting line but also the final beam and slab for the entire Hengde Expressway reconstruction and expansion project, marking the complete and successful fulfillment of all beam and slab erection tasks across the entire project line.
The connecting line for the Hengde Expressway reconstruction and expansion project has a total length of 9.304 kilometers. It is planned and constructed according to secondary highway standards, with a design speed of 80 kilometers per hour and a subgrade width of 12 meters. The successful achievement of this beam and slab erection milestone represents another major breakthrough for the project, following the completion of the connecting line's foundation and substructure construction on May 1st. Along the entire connecting line, there is one medium bridge (53.06 meters long) and two separated overpasses (totaling 1,425 meters long), with a total of 199 T-beams and box girders erected. The completion of this beam and slab erection task officially transitions the entire line's bridge construction into the phase of bridge deck systems and ancillary works, breaking through a key bottleneck and laying a solid engineering foundation for the project's on-schedule opening to traffic.
Throughout the entire construction process, the project headquarters adhered to the construction philosophy of "Striving for Excellence, Superior Quality," strictly implementing standardized and regulated construction requirements. The project team coordinated efforts to overcome multiple challenges, including cross-operations and tight schedules, and precisely controlled core process parameters such as beam and slab hoisting, positioning, and placement. From the review of specialized construction plans and the commissioning of large-scale machinery and equipment to full-process quality and safety inspections, responsibilities were consolidated at every level and control checkpoints were strictly managed. All beam and slab erection tasks were completed with high quality, high efficiency, safety, and order.
Looking ahead, the project headquarters will seize the golden window of opportunity for construction, continue to push forward under pressure, and work backward from the schedule milestones to advance subsequent works such as bridge deck paving, crash barriers, and ancillary structures at full speed. Full efforts will be made to achieve the annual construction goals, striving for the project's early completion and opening to traffic. Once operational, the project will further improve the regional arterial transportation network layout, unleash network connectivity efficiency, and empower the upgrading of local comprehensive transportation, contributing to high-quality regional economic and social development.
