Two new technology is adopted as the cable used here.
One is having attached the parallel projection on the surface of the cable, and having mitigated vibration by the wind of a cable. Another is having printed and painted the white fluoro-resin to polyethylene covering on the surface of a cable. Although it was thought that paint was impossible since any material was not pasted up on polyethylene, the coloring cable was put in practical use for the first time on this bridge. |
