Wanzhang Salt Bridge is actually a wide avenue paved with salt built on top of the salt lake. It has neither piers nor railings, and the entire road surface is smooth and magnanimous. It looks almost the same as the asphalt road in the city.
The road and railway across the Chaerhan Salt Lake are about 32 kilometers long. Although the surface of the salt bridge looks black and dirty, it is no different from other roads, but it is indeed all paved with salt, and its thickness is 60 meters. Find a hard tool and dig into the ground, and you can see the white salt particles under the surface topsoil. This is due to the fact that most of the surface of the salt lake is covered by a strong and hard salt crust.
Wanzhang Yanqiao is wide and long, with infinite scenery. When people come here by car, they can only see the straight and open road and bridge, like a sharp sword splitting the vast salt lake in two. On both sides of the salt bridge, there are workshops and dormitories of the potash fertilizer plant, and there are mining sites like ravines. Not far away, there is the world-famous Qinghai-Tibet Railway, a series of snake-like trains, swallowing clouds and fog, screaming and roaring across the lake. And pass.
The maintenance method of the salt bridge is also very peculiar. Usually, once there are potholes on the road surface, road maintenance workers smash some salt grains from the nearby salt cover, then pour a spoonful of thick brine into the salt water pit dug by the roadside, and pour it on, the salt grains melt quickly. And condense on the road surface, the potholes will be intact.
