楚天都市报极目新闻讯（记者 吕锐）3月31日，极目新闻记者获悉，武汉白沙洲长江公铁大桥汉阳侧栈桥完成首根钢管桩打设作业，标志着这一武汉枢纽直通线的关键控制性工程正式开工，这也是继2009年武汉天兴洲长江大桥之后，武汉市第二座跨越长江的高铁通道大桥。
CHUTIAN METROPOLIS DAILY (Jimu News, by Reporter LüRui)— Construction at the Wuhan Baishazhou Yangtze River Road-Rail Bridge officially broke ground on March 31, with the installation of the first steel pipes kickstarting operations on the Hanyang section, according to Jimu News. Serving as a critical yet complex project for the Wuhan Hub Direct Connect Line, it represents the second high-speed railway (HSR) corridor bridge spanning the Yangtze River in Wuhan, following the Tianxingzhou Yangtze River Bridge that was completed in 2009.

白沙洲公铁两用长江大桥是武汉枢纽直通线的越江工程，该桥是武汉市第14座长江大桥，位于既有白沙洲长江公路大桥上游75米处，采用上层公路、下层铁路合建形式，通行四线铁路和六车道城市快速路。大桥南岸为武汉市武昌区，从白沙洲跨越长江，北岸为武汉市汉阳区；由南至北依次跨越武金堤大道、晴川大道、国博大道等主要干道。
The Baishazhou Road-Rail Yangtze River Bridge is the river’s crossing point alongthe Wuhan Hub Direct Connect Line. As Wuhan’s14th Yangtze River bridge, it is located 75 meters upstream of the existing Baishazhou Yangtze River Highway Bridge. The bridge deck features anupper-deck highway and lower-deck railway design, accommodating a four-line railway and a six-lane expressway. The southernbank of the bridge is situated in Wuchang District, Wuhan, crossing the Yangtze River from Baishazhou to the north bank in Hanyang District, Wuhan. Fromthesouthernto northern end, it spans major thoroughfares including Wujindi Avenue, Qingchuan Avenue, and Guobo Avenue.
据了解，大桥公铁合建段全长3811.6米，其中主桥全长1338米，采用双索面钢桁结合梁斜拉桥方案，为国内大跨度公铁合建斜拉桥的代表性工程。
The road-rail section of the bridgemeasuresa total of 3,811.6 meters, with the main bridge spanning 1,338 meters. It’s design,a double-cable-plane steel truss composite beam, makes it a landmark project among large-span roadand rail cable-stayed bridges in China.
来自中交二航局官方微信消息，新建武汉枢纽直通线项目线路自汉十高铁云梦东站引出，设孝感南站、汉阳站，沿武汉市三环线跨越长江，设白沙洲公铁两用长江大桥，过江后设联络线沟通武黄城际；新建正线72.193公里，联络线8.605公里。其中，由中交二航局承建的武汉枢纽直通线站前工程ZTXZQ-2标项目正线长3.812公里，为武汉白沙洲公铁两用长江大桥正桥及两岸接线引桥。
According to an official release from the WeChat pageof CCCC (China Communications Construction Company) Second Harbor Engineering Company Ltd., the newly built Wuhan Hub Direct Connect Line project branches off from Yunmeng East Station on the Wuhan-Shiyan High-Speed Railway, with stops at Xiaogan South Station and Hanyang Station. The line will run along the Wuhan 3rd Ring Road and cross the Yangtze River via theBaishazhou Yangtze River Road-Rail Bridge.After crossing the Yangtze River, connecting lines will link up with the Wuhan-Huangshi Intercity Railway. The main line of the new project stretches 72.193 kilometers, with connecting lines spanning 8.605 kilometers. Among them, Lot ZTXZQ-2 of the pre-station works for the Wuhan Hub Direct Connect Line, undertaken by CCCC Second Harbor Engineering Company Ltd., covers a 3.812-kilometer main line, including the main bridge of the Wuhan Baishazhou Yangtze River Road-Rail Bridgeand the approach bridges on both river banks.
作为武汉枢纽直通线的咽喉部分，白沙洲长江公铁大桥是决定全线建设进度的关键节点，还是长江经济带综合立体交通网重点项目，是集公路通行与高铁运输于一体的复合型过江通道。白沙洲长江公铁大桥设计时速为80公里，通车后将有效分流既有白沙洲长江大桥的过江车流，缓解武汉西南片区跨江交通压力。
As a critical pivotal section of the Wuhan Hub Direct Connect Line, the Baishazhou Road-Rail Yangtze River Bridge serves as a key node determining the overall construction progress of the entire line. It is also a major project within the comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, functioning as a dual-purpose bridge integrating highway traffic and high-speed rail transportation. Designed with a speed limit of 80km/h, the bridge will effectively divert traffic flow from the existing Baishazhou Yangtze River Bridge upon opening, easing cross-river transportconnections in the southwestern area of Wuhan.
