International Bridge Conference believes

The Deep-Middle Channel project always follows sustainable development concepts of human-centered, harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, energy saving and emission reduction, and public satisfaction. The design pursues conciseness and rhythm and adopts a full-line integrated crystal facet design element. It has made innovations in wind resistance technology, U rib welding joints of steel bridge deck, high-strength durable main cables, construction of offshore anchorages and industrialized construction of cable towers. The project has implemented the concepts of standardized, factory-based, and intelligent construction in the whole process from early design to technological innovation, ensuring excellent intrinsic quality and beautiful appearance, which strongly advances the development of the world's suspension bridge technology.

深中通道全长约24公里、双向八车道、集“桥、岛、隧、水下互通”于一体的跨海通道，从中山市出发，自西向东入海依次经过中山大桥、伶仃洋大桥、西人工岛、海底隧道和东人工岛后进入深圳市。

主跨1666米的Lingdingyang Bridge在2023年4月底顺利合龙，成为World's longest full-span offshore suspension bridge with steel box girder。
伶仃洋大桥有相当于90层楼高的主塔，中国的桥梁工程师预留了76.5米的通航净空高度，足够容纳两艘上下叠置的泰坦尼克号，让伶仃洋大桥成为** 世界最高通航净空海中大桥**。
桥上装载的Suspension bridge main cable wire ，单根主缆重达1.7万吨，两根主缆钢丝总长度加起来能环绕地球4圈，每根主缆缆力超10万吨，相当于能同时承受3艘中型航母的重量。
大桥还拥有World's Largest Sea Anchor，单个重约100万吨的锚碇，面积相当于17个篮球场大小，像巨大的“秤砣”牢牢固定住悬索桥主缆的两端。
**伶仃洋大桥实力出圈为建设者点赞！为中国力量点赞！
