Why do China pour millions of tons of cement into the sea when building bridges at sea? Will not pollute the environment?

In recent years, China's infrastructure construction can be described as flourishing. It has built many buildings that shocked the world and recognized by other countries. One of the most famous in China is the construction of bridges. The Qingdao Bay Bridge with a total length of 41.6 kilometers tops the list, the second longest bridge is the Hangzhou Bay Bridge, the third is the Zhuhai-Hong Kong-Macao Bridge, and the fourth is the Donghai Bridge in Shanghai, China. The top four sea-crossing bridges are all in China.

Recently, China has to build a huge project that seems impossible to complete. It will cost a huge amount of money to pour 2.5 million tons of cement into the sea. Thinking about it, it is impossible to do it. But nothing is impossible for the Chinese. In fact, China is planning to build a highway-railway bridge in the Pingtan Strait. As we all know, the sea current in the Pingtan Strait is turbulent and unpredictable, and the wind at sea is large and wide. It's just the norm there.

The maritime environment is quite harsh, so many countries are discouraged and dare not start construction of bridges in this sea area, but China has declared war on it, and is not afraid at all. Other countries are puzzled, why did China make such a decision that they seem to be unable to accomplish?

As long as the bridge can be successfully completed, China will not only add another infrastructure miracle to the history books, but also add a new channel for the exchange of people and goods between the two places, and improve the economic development speed of Fujian and other places. Due to the ever-changing maritime environment It is very difficult to build a solid bridge pier on the seabed with turbulent currents, but the bridge will be stable only if the bottom foundation is laid well, so China will think of pouring 2.5 million tons of cement into the sea as a fixture. , and then began to build the bridge.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the damage to the bridge body caused by the seabed and sea conditions. It is such a crazy move that we have the opportunity to build a bridge that the world is amazed at, and will give another thumbs up to China's bridge-building technology. If the bridge is completed in the future, it will directly become the key linking Pingtan and Fuzhou, driving the rapid economic development of the two places and many places, and becoming one of the sea-crossing bridges built in China.

China's work in infrastructure construction is unequivocal. For the normal and safe use of the bridge after the opening, it has spared hundreds of billions of people's famous coins. This has also allowed China to make achievements in the construction of all bridges, and many miracles will appear on this land of China in the future.
