The Longjingtou Grand Bridge has finished its pier construction on April 8, with its girder erection advancing orderly. The main structure of the bridge is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year. Spanning 1,145 meters and supported by five piers exceeding 50 meters in height, this bridge is a critical project on Shaoyang-Yongzhou High-speed Railway.

Shaoyang-Yongzhou High-speed Railway is a crucial section of Hohhot-Nanning High-speed Railway on China's "Eight Vertical and Eight Horizontal" high-speed rail network, and also one of the key construction projects in Hunan's 14th Five-Year Plan for railway development. It stretches 96 kilometers, with a designed speed of 350 km per hour and a bridge-tunnel ratio of 72 percent. Upon completion, it will contribute to strengthening the high-speed railway network in central and western regions of China. (Photo/Lei Zhongxiang and Jiang Lingzhi)
