The main span was the world's longest cantilever box-girder span until it was surpassed by the Shibanpo Second Yangtze River Bridge in China.[2] [3] [4]
The bridge is a cantilevered prestressed concrete box girder bridge using low density concrete, with a vertical clearance of . To achieve its record length for box girder construction, the hollow concrete box girders are wide and taper from inbox beam depth over the piers to in the center of the span. To reduce its weight, the center of the main span is constructed of high-strength low-density concrete with a density of 1940kg/m3. The short end spans which cantilever the main span are ballasted with gravel.[5]
