9/4/2004 15:19

Ground was broken on April 8 for construction of the Yangshan Deep-Water Port Facility in south city's Nanhui County Luchao Port.
Upon completion, the port will have an area of 13.8 square kilometers, making it one of Asia's largest modern port facilities.
The deep-water port's first phase will be completed by the end of 2005 and put into service along with the port in the same year.
West of the Haigang New City, the park will be east of the A2 Expressway connecting Luchao Port with downtown Shanghai, and 32 kilometers from the deep-water port area.
