Early this month, the main span of the Jialing River Grand Bridge in Sichuan, mainland China, was successfully completed—a key structure for the upcoming Langzhong-Yingshan Expressway. 🚧🌉
Stretching 1,379 meters long and 32.5 meters wide, the bridge's centerpiece is a massive 240-meter main span that smoothly connects both riverbanks.
Why you should care:
- Rapid rides: Once the four-lane expressway opens later in 2026, travel time between Langzhong and Yingshan will drop from 2.5 hours to about 40 minutes. 🚗💨
- Local boost: Faster trips mean more weekend getaways, local trade, and tourism vibes. 📈🏞️
- Eco plus: Shorter drives can help cut down on vehicle emissions—score for cleaner air! 🌿🌏
With this major milestone in place, keep an eye out for the expressway launch—your next road-trip playlist might just come in handy sooner than you think! 🎶🛣️
