🚧 Big news! The Dongwuyang Super Bridge, a key link on the Ningde–Shangrao Expressway connecting Fujian Province in the southeast of the Chinese mainland and eastern Jiangxi Province, achieved full structural closure this Monday.
Spanning 2,546.6 m (almost as long as 25 football fields), engineers closed four gaps of 2 m each using cantilever cast-in-place construction with mobile formwork "travelers". To prevent heat cracks, the final concrete was poured at 2:00 AM, when it's coolest 🚀.
Once it opens by year-end, the expressway will supercharge Fujian's eastern coastal industrial cluster and unlock faster tourism. Imagine cruising along the scenic coast from Ningde to Shangrao—hello, weekend road trips! 🌊🚗
Get ready: smoother commutes, lively business corridors, and a fresh boost in regional competitiveness are just months away. Time to plan that Insta-worthy drive! 📸✨
