Taizhou Yangtze River Bridge, participated by CRBBG, had been presented with the Supreme Award for Structural Engineering Excellence during a ceremony held by the Institution of Structural Engineers in London on November 15. It was for the first time that China's bridge project won this award, as well as for the fourth time that CRBBG participated project won the international award.

Connecting three national expressways of Beijing-Shanghai, Shanghai-Shaanxi and Shanghai-Chengdu, Taizhou Yangtze River Bridge in Jiangsu province is the first kilometer level three-tower suspension bridge in the world. With the overall length of 62 kilometers for the bridge, of 6,800 meters for the main bridge spanning the river, and two-span of 2x1080 meters, it has been regarded as "the world's first long-span, three-tower suspension bridge" for its difficulty in design and high technologies. The bridge started in December 2007 and was completed and open to traffic in November 2012.

CRBBG contracted fabrication of 12,000 tons of steel towers and 18,000 tons of steel box girders for this bridge and the total contract price was about 470 million yuan. In recent years, CRBBG participated bridges have won several international awards, such as Jeorge Richardson Medal for Nanjing Dashengguan Yangtze River Bridge, Gustav Lindenthal Medal for Nanjing 3rd Yangtze River Bridge and the same award for Zhoushan Xihoumen Bridge.

It is known that the Institution of Structural Engineers was established in 1908, and it has members in over 100 countries in the world. The Institution is an internationally recognised source of expertise and information concerning all issues that involve structural engineering. The Awards judges said: "This enormous project was an extraordinary achievement, which pushed the frontiers of suspension bridge technology to new heights; the successful construction of Taizhou Bridge created a bright prospect for the development of long-span bridges all over the world."
