Light at the end of the highway tunnel
The Niuzhaishan Tunnel in the Pingtan Comprehensive Pilot Zone has almost been completed as workers have only about 400 meters left to excavate, the Pingtan Times reported on Nov 15.

A manager of the project said that workers have already excavated a distance of 740 meters at the northern end of the tunnel and 500 meters at the southern end.

The 1,697-meter project will consist of a two-way, eight-lane tunnel linking urban and suburban districts.

The digging started in November 2012, and workers said that - if everything goes as planned - the project is expected to be finished by the end of this year.
