Got a case of wanderlust? Get ready! The Dongwuyang Super Bridge, a game-changer for the Ningde-Shangrao Expressway, just hit a major milestone: full structural closure. Stretching 2,546.6 meters across Fujian Province on the southeastern coast of the Chinese mainland, this epic bridge will open for traffic by the end of the year—and it’s not just a scenic marvel. 🗺️🚀
To connect the four final segments, each two meters long, engineers used cantilever cast-in-place concrete construction with form travelers—a fancy way of saying they built each slice right where it stands. To dodge daytime heat and ensure top-notch quality, crews poured the last concrete cube in the cool, pre-dawn hours of Monday at 2:00 a.m. Talk about dedication! 💪🌅
Once open, the Ningde-Shangrao Expressway will be part of China's national expressway network, supercharging the eastern coastal industrial cluster in Fujian. Expect smoother trade flows and a serious boost for local tourism—and yes, more Insta-worthy road trips. 🛣️✨
By year-end, this highway will connect communities like never before, elevating regional competitiveness and opening doors to new opportunities. Whether you’re a travel buff hunting hidden gems or an investor eyeing fresh markets, the Dongwuyang Super Bridge is paving the way to the future—literally!
