The Humen Bridge was the most profitable bridge in China and the busiest bridge in the world, with a daily income of up to 5 million and a traffic flow of more than 190,000.
But now the number of vehicles on the bridge is gradually decreasing, deserted and miserable, and even the income is less than half of what it used to be.
So, let's find out what's going on today?
The bridge shook
On May 5, 2020, a person who was passing on the bridge posted a video of the bridge shaking on the Internet, and netizens exploded as soon as the video came out.
In the video, you can clearly see that the bridge deck is a little up and down, and some people shout "Hurry up, hurry up!"
After the news spread, the state and relevant departments must attach great importance to it, after all, such a big bridge, if something happens, the problem will be very serious.
Soon, the transportation department arrived at the scene and quickly carried out a blockade, and the company of the Humen Bridge also urgently launched the "Humen Regional Cross-River Bridge Emergency Smooth Linkage Plan", and then the area around the bridge was also blocked.
After the lockdown, experts carried out many days of professional testing and observation, and everyone was waiting for the results.
Experts mean that the main reason for the vibration of the bridge is "vortex earthquake", which is a principle of mechanics in layman's terms, similar to the situation of flowing water crossing the bridge or the wind blowing through the tower.
Another reason is that the staff placed a large number of water barriers on the bridge, which was needed for maintenance, but they never thought that it would exacerbate the amplitude of the vortex, so the water barriers were immediately evacuated after this situation.
In addition, the professionals carried out a detailed inspection of the bridge and did not find any damage to the bridge. In general, the vortex will not have a great impact and will be safe for the bridge.
But after all, there is a huge sea under the bridge, and if the bridge collapses or other dangers, how can people not be worried and afraid?
Many people must feel that they are not afraid of 10,000, but they are afraid of what happens, and no one can guarantee whether the next vortex will be more intense.
Overworked
Secondly, the bridge is full of vehicles passing through every day, and there are a large number of vehicles moving at all times, and at the end of the day, there are countless vehicles coming and going.
The most important thing is that the location of the Humen Bridge is very special, a bridge connects the expressway, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Macao and other cities.
If many people want to go there or need to transport supplies, the Humen Bridge is undoubtedly the most convenient passage, and there are very few wind bridges on the Humen Bridge.
However, so many vehicles have to rely on the Humen Bridge, and it is common to be blocked on the bridge, so day after day, I don't know how many years have passed.
The iron pillar can still be sharpened into a needle, not to mention that this bridge has been overloaded for many years, and I don't know if it needs to be improved and strengthened?
But although the traffic flow of the Humen Bridge is huge, the benefits brought by many people are beyond the dreams of many people.
According to the statistics of relevant data, since the completion of the Humen Bridge, the daily income can almost exceed 10,000 yuan, let alone if there are holidays.
Until recent years, the income of the Humen Bridge has gradually decreased, according to relevant statistics, the total income of the Humen Bridge is less than half of the original, and it is not without reason that there is such a big gap.
The appearance of the Nansha Bridge
With the progress and development of the times, innovation is indispensable, and the country has new needs, so in 2018, the Nansha Bridge appeared.
Its first passage almost flattened one-third of the vehicles of the Humen Bridge, so it is also called the Second Humen Bridge.
The emergence of the Nansha Bridge will inevitably greatly reduce the load of the Humen Bridge, especially after the vortex earthquake of the Humen Bridge, more and more people choose the Nansha Bridge.
Since then, the Nansha Bridge has become the second particularly profitable bridge, so the income of the Humen Bridge will naturally decrease.
But in fact, the Nansha Bridge weakens the passage of the Humen Bridge on the surface, but in fact, it is not a good thing for the Humen Bridge, which bears the overload of traffic.
With the new bridge, it not only reduces traffic jams, but also reassures more people, and allows the Humen Bridge to increase the life of work.
Although the revenue of the Humen Bridge has been shared, it still connects many cities on both sides of the river, and this core position cannot be replaced by new bridges.
With the development of the mainland and the increase of economic exchanges between the two sides of the strait, the emergence of the Nansha Bridge is in line with the development of society, so the existence of the Nansha Bridge and the Humen Bridge at the same time is the inevitable result of development.
Then the question arises, how important is the Humen Bridge, and what kind of glorious history does this bridge have?
The splendor of the Humen Bridge
First of all, the Humen Bridge has the title of "the first steel box girder suspension bridge in the mainland".
This bridge is the high-speed main line connecting many cities such as the Pearl River Delta, and the two sides of the bridge are separated by a Pearl River Lion Ocean, which is why the title of "the world's first span" comes from.
And the name "Humen Bridge" is also said, some people on the Internet say that this bridge is a gift to celebrate the "return of Hong Kong".
Everyone should know that Lin Zexu "Humen sells cigarettes", the port of Humen is extremely important to mainland trade, in 1992, a wealthy Hong Kong businessman returned and won the bridge project.
After a number of Chinese experts and countless laborers, perseverance and overcoming many difficulties, it was finally officially opened to traffic in 1997, which happened to be 20 days before Hong Kong's return to the motherland.
In this extremely sensitive period, the Chinese people have completed such a huge project, isn't this the best gift from God to us!
It is understood that the construction of the Humen Bridge cost a huge amount, and after its successful construction, it won many awards, such as engineering or science awards.
It can be said that the success of the Humen Bridge is the pride of our people, and it is also an important way for cities on both sides of the strait to travel across the sea, and it has also drawn a brilliant stroke in the history of the mainland.
The success of the Humen Bridge is inseparable from the hard work of all staff, scientific personnel and others, as well as the development and progress of the country.
Although it is not as glorious as it used to be, it is undeniable, but its history and past are still worth remembering, and it has contributed a lot to the strength of the country.
To exaggerate a little, without the success of the Humen Bridge, there would be no later establishment of the Nansha Bridge, let alone the rise of the country, I believe that in the future, our country will be better and better!
