These are usually provided over waterways, where high height ship movement might be restricted due to low height clearance of bridge.

Well, I mean a process of building bridges.
It is usually used to build a bridge over another very busy corridor, such as a bridge, a road, a railway, etc.
In order not to impact the busy traffic, they will first build a section then rotate like 80 degree....The swivel process is finished within 1-2 hours. So the corridor underneath will be stopped for only 1-2 hours.
In this HSR from the provincial capital of Inner Mongolia to the 2022 Olympics host city Zhangjiakou, 5 railway bridges were built in such a manner.

Sorry to hear that.
Hope no casualties.
Also damage to civil structure looks minimal, once they take care of Over Head Electrification masts and conductors, services should resume quickly.

Yes, I think so. Easy to repair. But it is seriously affecting the travel rush during the 3-day Mid-Autumn Festival.

@中景安徽：When Yang Liwei was sent to the universe, the space ship's control centre was full of white-hair old men. Now, the control centre for the Tiangong2 Space Lab looks like some university's lab.
@高铁见闻： Same with Chinese High Speed Rail. When we communicate with foreigners, all foreigners are a bunch of "senior" experts. We are all 30 year old, those who are 40 year old are the chief engineers.

Over 37 mln train trips made during festival travel rush
Xinhua, September 18, 2016

Nearly 37.2 million train journeys were made during the four-day Mid-Autumn Festival travel rush that ended Saturday, said the China Railway Corporation on Sunday.

On Saturday, the last day of the holiday, 10.4 million railway trips were made, 11.7 percent more than last year.

During the holiday, 1,265 trains were laid on to handle the extra of passengers. Some services in coastal areas ran at reduced speed, changed route or were canceled due to gales and downpours caused by Typhoon Meranti.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is the second most important holiday for the Chinese after the Spring Festival. Many people go home to be with their families or visit tourist attractions.

A report by travel agent Lvmama showed the number of travelers during the holiday more than tripled this year.

Hangzhou, the host city of G20 Summit early this month, and Jiuquan, where China launched its second space lab on Thursday, were among the hottest destinations.

Amazing travel rush, but better services amidst the typhoon in some provinces. Congrats, CRRC.
