Expressway opened to support Asian Games

A smart expressway, a key supporting project for the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022, opened for traffic in Zhejiang province on Saturday, to serve the competition zone in Shaoxing. The 20.9-kilometer Yuyue Smart Expressway, partly built by China Railway No. 4 Engineering Group Co Ltd, is the country's first urban viaduct to adopt fully prefabricated assembly technology, introducing five digital smart systems. It starts from Yuexing Road in the east and ends at Jianshui Road in the west, and cuts the driving time from Hangzhou to the Shaoxing venue from one hour to 25 minutes. The Games will be held between Sept 10 and 25.

Wind and solar power installed capacities rise

China's installed capacity for generating wind and solar power increased dramatically in the first two months of the year as the country revs up efforts to achieve carbon neutrality, official data showed. In the January-February period, installed capacity of wind power jumped 17.5 percent year-on-year to reach 330 million kilowatts, said the National Energy Administration. Solar power installed capacity reached 320 million kW during the period.
