Halogaland Bridge near Norway's northern port city of Narvik is the longest suspension bridge within the Arctic Circle. It adopts a unique main cable design with irregular space and is dubbed by the People's Daily as 'a bridge accompanying aurora'. The anti-corrosion technology of Norwegian bridges satisfies the world's highest anti-corrosion requirements. With advanced intelligent robot welding, China Railway Shanhaiguan Bridge Group Co., Ltd. made a breakthrough in deformation control of thin steel box girder manufacturing, which has been highly recognized by the supervisor and the Norwegian owner.
Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, is known as the 'Venice of the North'. The Slussen Bridge, also called Golden Bridge for its color, is located at downtown of Stockholm. As the fifth generation of 'new Slussen', the Slussen Bridge is a huge variable cross-section steel box girder bridge that combines bridge and tunnel.
