across the world people have been
finding innovative ways to build sturdy
spans that not only make commutes more
efficient but also become
landmarks
famous bridges around the globe boast
their own style and decor
breathtaking symbolic innovative ancient
or iconic and record-breaking
the world's bridges come in many shapes
sizes and functionalities
they are all impressive architectural
feats however one nation deserves
recognition as the new bridge leader
china as economic growth slows in most
developed countries
china forges forward with world-class
and world-breaking bridges
country that continues to invest in
infrastructure while other countries
have other invested interests
we're taking you back to the 1960s the
bridge construction site of the nanjing
yangtze river bridge
it was the first modern heavy bridge
designed and built using chinese
expertise without foreign architects
built during a difficult time in chinese
history this double-deck bridge was
considered groundbreaking when it was
unveiled in 1968 transforming the life
in the city

the bridge remains a source of pride in
nanjing china's former capital and today
over 80 000 vehicles and 200 trains use
the bridge daily
china is home to the world's highest and
longest bridges
they have become architectural marvels
and a national symbol of engineering
pride
including thousands of new bridges
coming up all over the country's complex
terrain this visual animation takes you
into the world where impossible is
possible and becomes a reality the
construction teams develop new methods
to overcome the barriers and integrate
environmental monitoring systems there
is no mountain high enough and no valley
low enough to stop china's development
the bridges arch dips and weave all
around the landscape china is not only
building bridges to move cars and
passengers it's building one of the
world's largest high-speed rail networks
on the planet to do this requires an
engineering miracle
chinese universities have surpassed the
united states institutions
in a number of sciences technology
engineering and mathematics phd's being
produced in 2021
we're taking you on a journey to marvel
the impressive architectural feats all
across china
this is the world's largest sea based
project the hong kong zhuhai macau
bridge which opened to traffic in

challenging mega projects in the history
of china
