The thin wire wrapping around each cable assists in water runoff which reduces cable oscillations that are caused by the rain and wind.  The phenomenon has been well documented - especially since cable stayed bridges have grown in size.  Image by Eric Sakowski / HighestBridges.com

2011 China High Bridge Trip Photo Album
Hubei and Chongqing Provinces


The following images cover the first ever "2011 High Over China Bridge Trip" that took place during the month of August in several Western China Provinces. Bridge fans Roger Perrin of Great Britain and Georges of France joined me on HighestBridges.com's 3 week tour to experience 50 of the world's highest bridges including walks across most of the world's 10 highest road bridges. The special spans visited during the first week included Siduhe, Zhijinghe, Tieluoping, Longtanhe, Shuanghekou, Xiaohe and Caijiagou Bridges as well as a visit to Western China's most populous city of Chongqing where the world's longest span arch bridge and beam bridges reside.
