英国恒比尔河桥在1959年已批准修建,但建桥资金至1971年才筹集,为了压低造价,桥面宽压缩到4车道。1973年4月动工,原定两年半完成,因各种原因耽误,预计将于1979年初完工。该桥主跨1410m,建成后将打破美国维拉扎诺桥1298m的跨度纪录,成为世界上跨度最大的悬索桥。 The United Kingdom Heng Bill bridge was approved in 1959 to build, but the bridge construction funds until 1971 to raise, in order to reduce the cost, the bridge deck compressed to 4 lanes. Starting in April 1973, originally scheduled for two and a half years to complete, due to various reasons, is expected to be completed in early 1979. The main span of the bridge is 1410m, and when it is completed, it will break the span record of 1298m of the US Verrazano Bridge and become the largest span suspension bridge in the world.
