Abstract:Qiancao Highway is a north-south ordinary highway in the north of Jiading District in Shanghai. With the planned widening reconstruction of Luowen River and Xinchuansha River, the Qiancao Highway Bridge will be demolished and rebuilt. The planned position of this bridge is located at the intersection of two rivers. Considering that the main span of the bridge is long at the outlet of the river, it may be uneconomical. Therefore, the present situation and planning along the line are sorted out. The necessity of the construction of Qiancao Highway Bridge is analyzed. The traffic volume is forecasted and the lane scale is determined. The multiple schemes of the bridge plane alignment are compared so as to recommend the reasonable scheme of bridge alignment.
