Two years of hard
work by construction workers is finally paying off, as the 1.66-kilometer
cable-supported bridge connecting Kezhushan Island and the Xiaoyangshan area has
recently been joined, signifying that the Yangshan Deep Water Port project has
entered its final stages.
The bridge, which was started May 2003, is part of
the East Sea Bridge that links Shanghai and the port area.
The East Sea
Bridge, which will span 32.5 kilometers, is nearly finished, with construction
of 31 kilometers already completed, and with more than 4 kilometers paved. Pipes
supplying water and electricity as well as telecom services to the port area are
being installed.
