A U.S. engineer is busy building bridges in China. T.Y. Lin International designed two record-breakers just getting under way, and is in a construction joint venture for one of them. The San Francisco-based firm also performed conceptual design for an unusual structure, currently half-built.
The city of Chongqing celebrated groundbreaking on Dec. 28 for both a bridge set to have the worlds longest double-deck, tied-arch main span and one with the worlds longest box-girder span. Man-Chung Tang, T.Y. Lins chairman, led design for both.
