Massive 572-tonne girder completes main span of Yangtze River bridge

Chongqing's Huangjuetuo Yangtze River Bridge completed its main span on Wednesday following the precise placement of its final steel girder. 

The 1,260-meter bridge has more than 33,000 tonnes of steel in its main structure. As the world's largest-span road-rail suspension bridge under construction, it is a key part of Chongqing's urban transport network.

The milestone paves the way for the remaining construction work.
