Chinese Uses Rocket To Build Bridge

This bridge would be the tallest in the world by some way and smash the record for highest deck-to-ground distance held by the royal gorge bridge in colorado (1'053ft)






Called the siduhe grand bridge, this absolute beast is nearing completion after 4 years of construction in china's hubei province. The deck of the bridge has just recently been connected over the valley below and is so high above the ground that you could fit the empire state building underneath it, and still have 360ft spare.









So you've *****ed the enormous towers on each side of the deep valley, deeper than any valley previously bridged. How do you get a pilot cable from one tower to the next? previous solutions have included:
  • attaching the cable to a kite and flying it over (e.g. niagara falls suspension bridge),
  • carrying one end by helicopter (e.g. akashi kaikyo bridge) and floating one end on a boat (e.g. brooklyn bridge).
the brains behind the siduhe bridge decided to ignore all those options and break another record instead. they attached the 3200ft cables to rockets and accurately fired them over the valley, becoming the first people to do so.
