Abstract

The new 277 km Fuzhou–Xiamen high-speed railway in China is the country’s first cross-sea railway designed for operational speeds of 350 km/h. Completed in 2023, it involved various advanced construction technologies, including the world’s first 1000 t bridge-building machine to be used offshore, advanced corrosion-resistant steel, pioneering rotation of a main bridge pylon, and aerodynamic steel–concrete composite bridge decks with ballastless tracks. The innovative project represents a milestone for China’s high-speed railway, heralding a new era of cross-sea transportation.
