China Completes Wind Resistance Tests for Georgia's B3 Arch Bridge Project
China has completed comprehensive wind resistance testing for the B3 Arch Bridge in Georgia, a key project on the North-South Corridor Road Section. The bridge, the longest concrete arch span in the Caucasus and fourth-longest globally, underwent wind tunnel tests simulating extreme conditions including Level-9 winds, temperatures as low as -20°C, and heavy snow. Constructed by China Railway 23rd Bureau Group, the 437.875-meter bridge features twin box-section arch ribs and is designed for long-term safe operation, with main arch closure planned for 2026.
