Xijinping got another amzing giant bridge constructed by >1000 ton Lego blooks

[taksinloong]

This bridge links Shanghai to it's north using a shortcut over China's largest river to Nantong city. Using this bridge driving between Shanghai & Nantong city is 1 hr on express flyover only.

There are multiple shocking achievements and record breaking in this project alone, What is announced today is the 1st span that jointed using Giant Ship Crane (super stable) lifting height over 25 floors and each Lego block is exeeded 1000 tons. The block may look tiny but they are over 3 story height each. for 2 levels of the bridge. The top level is for car traffic, and 3 stories below is 4 tracks of bullet train tracks, pipelines & cables.

To actually know how big things are, the top surface of bridge is over 20 stories above water, enlarge zoom 400% of each photo to view details, there is giant road truck crane at the end of the joint on the top surface in 2nd photo, and men (dot sized) standing on the edge.

The pics however don't show from where the Giant Crane had lifted the the Lego block, there is no barge vessel seen, nor there is any visible Lego block construction site on the shore visible. A site with huge gentry cranes etc is needed to build them.

From video I found out the section Lego dimension :
35m width (width of bridge)
16m height (4~5 stories )

There is no exact length figure to me now, but the letter "N" shape's pitch is 12m, however, each Lego section is more than 1 letter "N", looks like 1.5x "N", if exactly 1.5 then Lego section length is 18m.

The volume of of each Lego block is several HDB home units, I think it is 4X HDB EA units 12X 3 Rm HDB units volume.

It is hoisted up 20 over floors height by a very unique Giant Floating Crane.

All these could only be built due to US generosity wrt trade surplus.
