This morning, the entire line of Fuzhou Gushan Bridge was completed and opened to traffic. Yesterday afternoon, the reporter saw at the scene that the 142-meter-high gate-shaped main tower stood upright, with cables on both sides connecting the two banks like huge open wings, and the majestic Gushan Bridge straddling the Minjiang River.
Gushan Bridge is located in the eastern district of Fuzhou and is the first self-anchored suspension bridge with a single tower in Fuzhou. The total length of the bridge is 4,812 meters, with 8 lanes in both directions; the south approach bridge and the south link are 3,050 meters long, the main road is 6 lanes in both directions, and the auxiliary road is 4 lanes in both directions.
The Gushan Bridge connects to the National Cargo Interchange in the north and connects to Section A of the Northeast Third Ring Road; to the Linpu Interchange in the south and extends to Zexu Avenue to connect with the Second Ring Expressway, and the entire bridge is connected to the existing roads on the south and north sides of the Minjiang River. The net is closely linked. The Gushan Bridge was completed and opened to traffic, enabling fast traffic between the Fuzhou Second Ring Road and the Third Ring Road, and directing the urban area to the Fuzhou Strait International Convention and Exhibition Center. After the bridge is opened to traffic, drive from Taijiang Guohuo Road or Aofeng Road to Fuzhou Strait International Convention and Exhibition Center via Gushan Bridge. The journey takes less than 10 minutes.

Bridge inspection uses the latest international “Internet of Things” technology
On the bridge, the reporter noticed that several square boxes with large palms were hung on the slings of the bridge. Fang Zhen, the vice president of Fuzhou University, was leading the staff of the Civil Engineering Structural Engineering Research Office of Fuzhou University to do various tests for the bridge. Professor Zheng told reporters that this square box is called an “acceleration sensor”, which is the latest technology they used on the bridge. “We apply the latest “Internet of Things” technology used in international bridges to the Gushan Bridge.”
According to reports, in the past, bridge inspections basically relied on artificial eyes and various instruments for on-site inspections. At present, about 20 “acceleration sensors” installed at various locations on the bridge will collect massive amounts of bridge vibration information, and use wireless Internet to transfer the data. When it is transmitted to the research center, the staff can analyze the data on the computer and understand the operation of the bridge.
