A cable crane was used for the first time to build the Yachihe Bridge in China, the world's longest steel truss cable-stayed bridge. The bridge has concrete decks on the side spans and a steel truss deck at the mid-span. The 16-meter-long truss deck segments were erected using the cable crane due to challenging site terrain, poor transportation conditions, and limited time. The paper discusses the challenges faced during construction and presents field load tests for the cable crane.
