The main structure of a tunnel linking the Puxi and Pudong zones of the 2010
World Expo is completed, as a massive shield finishes digging a second passage
across the Huangpu River yesterday. Officials of the Shanghai No. 2 Engineering
Co, which is building the Xizang Road S. Tunnel, plan to open the link before
the end of June to construction vehicles working on World Expo projects. The
tunnel, which will have two lanes in each passage, runs 2.67 kilometers and is
designed to transport 60,000-70,000 vehicles an hour during the Expo.¡ªShanghai
