China Expressways, Highways: News & Discussions

You mean guys can't even build your own roads?
I think it's also because there seem to be no political will by the government or even societal awareness by the people(education seems to be fairly low),i have noticed the same thing in several poor developing countries i have been to. The people seem to have such low expectations from their government/leaders so much so that its shocking. It's like the political establishments in these countries have gotten the people used to mediocrity and expecting nothing, so much so that when the government gives them crumbs the people rejoice and sing their praise, not knowing that this should be their basic rights. These countries seem to be in a constant state of apathy, which is quite sad.

Why are you so angry? China is our partner. They don't only build roads in Pakistan. You know what CPEC is? If you don't first learn the facts before spewing nonsense.
 
Yep. A Chav would either be -

  • taking shots on his arms
  • getting drunk
  • plugging a She-Chav
  • or spaced out.
Not on PDF. So do we conclude it is a Gangu?
LOL Oh so because i have something that isn't to your liking i have suddenly become a Gangu or whatever that even means? I often make comments on here with my mobile phone and sometimes i don't bother cross checking my comments(depends on what i'm doing).
Why is it that when someone says something that isn't to your liking then you guys resort to name calling and others? Seems it's a pattern on PDF. lol
When i make a comment about India that Indians don't like they might call me Pakistani, if i make a comment Iranian don't like they might say i'm Arab, If i say something favorable about China i might become a Chinese etc etc.
I have even had one member called me a Persian years ago on here because i made some favorable comments about Iran that they didn't agree with.:lol: It's ok you guys can carry on with your name calling and insults, especially when you know you have no credible points to make to counter the remarks i made, so you resort to insults. I'm not idle enough to engage in such useless endless tricks. So you guys are free to carry on with that.

Terrible grammar. He is a gangu folks.

LOL the gangu is in pain. Why is China building roads and infrastructure in Pakistan? It is blasphemy.

A typical British gora has no time nor understanding of Pakistan. This guy is not a gora.

I got bad news for you. China and Pakistan are only beginning with CPEC. Just wait and see how this monster evolves in the coming years. I understand your pain.

WUHAN, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) -- A double-deck suspension bridge with the longest span in the world opened to traffic in Wuhan, capital of central China's Hubei Province, on Tuesday.

The first double-deck road bridge over the Yangtze River, with a 1,700-meter-long main span, stretches 4.13 km in total length.

The top deck of the 10th Yangtze River bridge has six lanes with a designed speed of 80 kph while the bottom deck also has six lanes but with a designed speed of 60 kph.

On the top deck there are also two sightseeing sidewalks and on the bottom deck there are two cycleways together with two sidewalks.

"The Yangsigang Yangtze River bridge is the world's longest-spanning double-deck suspension bridge," said Xu Gongyi, chief designer of the structure.

The new bridge will help ease traffic congestion and promote more balanced city development, said Lin Chi, vice president of Wuhan Urban Construction Investment and Development Group Co., Ltd.

Traffic capacity and safety of Sichuan-Tibet highway improved in the past decades.

CHENGDU, Nov. 15, 2019 (Xinhua) -- The Sichuan-Tibet highway, which links southwest China's Sichuan Province and Tibet Autonomous Region, was put into operation on Dec. 25, 1954 with a length of over 2,000 kilometers.

Over the past 65 years, the central and local governments have invested heavily to lift the highway's traffic capacity and safety. Besides more tunnels and bridges, almost all sections of the highway have been widened and asphalted.

Pingtang Bridge, with a span of 2,135 meters and boasting the highest concrete bridge tower in the world, completed its closure on Thursday.

BEIJING, Sept. 27 (Xinhua) -- The bridge, a colossal cable-supported viaduct with a span of 2,135 meters, will serve as a major connection on the Pingtang-Luodian Expressway above the Caodu River Canyon. The bridge will be completed and open to traffic by the end of 2019, shortening the travel time between Pingtang and Luodian from two and a half hours to around one hour.

Construction of the world's largest span suspension bridge, the Jin'an-Jinsha River Bridge, was successfully finished in Southwest China's Yunnan province on Wednesday, marking the completion of the key main structures of the bridge and laying a solid foundation for the completion of the Huaping-Lijiang Expressway.

The construction of the steel truss suspension bridge, an important part of the Huaping-Lijiang Expressway project, was made with highly technical difficulty due to the area's high earthquake risk and high altitude.

The main span of the bridge is 1,386 meters, and the vertical difference between the bridge surface and the river's surface in the valley below is 330 meters.

The cable crane has a span of more than 1,000 meters, which is the world's largest cable crane for mountain bridge construction.

It is reported that after the project is completed, it will fill the gaps in the east-west layout of the expressway networks in Lijiang city and Panzhihua city, making travel between Yunnan and Sichuan more convenient, and at the same time promoting the export of industrial crops and tourism in Lijiang.

During bridge construction the team faced many difficulties, according to the project leader from the Second Harbor Engineering Company.

The construction site is located in a canyon, with high wind speeds, which posed great safety challenges to build the superstructure. The team used a centralized control system to monitor variables at any time to ensure safe construction at every step.

Wu Yunru in Beijing contributed to the story.
