Wujiang railway bridge set to boost trans-regional transport

Engineers completed the major section of a railway bridge on Tuesday on the Wujiang River, considered the most difficult and complicated project of a 625-kilometer-long railway linking Southwestern China and Central China.

Staff members from the China Railway Engineering Corp (CREC) finished the main span of the Wujiang Right-Line Bridge, which is 460.1 meters long with four piers, on the river, a "natural barrier" that flows through rolling hills in Fuling district of Chongqing and empties into the Yangtze River in the north.

The Yangtze is the longest river in Asia while the 1,037-kilometer-long Wujiang is the largest river in Southwest China's Guizhou province.
