The Meizhou Bay Cross-Sea Bridge located in Putian, Fujian is 14.7 kilometers long. It is China's first cross-sea high-speed rail low tower cable-stayed bridge, and an important part of China's first cross-sea high-speed rail with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour - the Fuzhou-Xiasha High-Sea High-Sea. During the 2025 Spring Festival travel rush, nearly 150 high-speed trains will pass through the Meizhou Bay Cross-Sea Bridge every day.
Affected by the geography of the sea area, the bridge has nearly 100 days of wind speed at level 6 or above throughout the year. The sea breeze has a higher salt content than land breeze. The high-speed rail contact network is in a strong, high-salt and variable climate environment for a long time, and faces great safety challenges.
27 contact network workers in the Putian high-speed railway power supply industrial area of the Fuzhou Power Supply Section of China Railway Nanchang Bureau Group Co., Ltd. are responsible for inspection, maintenance and fault treatment of 700 pillars, 2,800 insulators and more than 30,000 bolts on the bridge. In order to ensure the safe operation of the high-speed rail during the Spring Festival travel rush and help passengers go home safely and smoothly for the New Year, from 0:00 to 4:00 after the train is suspended, the "Spider-Man" must conduct a comprehensive "physical examination" of the contact network equipment on the bridge.
In the early morning of January 14, a reporter from China News Service followed "Spider-Man" to conduct an on-site interview at the Meizhou Bay Cross-Sea Bridge maintenance site.
