Major transportation project makes headway

Construction of a high-speed railway in Shandong province is stepping up as the Jinan-Binzhou HSR saw a major railway bridge achieve full connectivity, said one of the State builders of the project. China Railway 24th Bureau Group Corp said the second Shanghuibin super bridge in Binzhou, Shandong, which spans the Shengli River, completed linkage on Sunday — the first crossing to have achieved such a goal along the HSR and a milestone in the construction progress. With a designed speed of 350 kilometers per hour, the HSR will be a key railway for Shandong and better link cities in northern Shandong with the provincial capital, CR24 said.
