In the past few days, the construction site of the Tarim River Bridge on the Tarim River, the longest inland river in China, has been busy. The construction staff of the China Communications Construction Group are busy transporting box beams, welding wet-jointed steel bars, erecting box beams...Talimu The river bridge is one of the third desert highways in Xinjiang. It has a total length of 1290 meters and a total of 43 spans. Each span is composed of 30-meter box girder. Because the geology is a sand and quicksand structure, it has been repeatedly selected by many parties. In the construction of reverse circulation drilling rigs, the proportion of mud should be appropriately increased to ensure the quality of the holes. At present, the main project of the Tarim River Bridge is nearing completion. The third desert highway in Xinjiang-the desert highway from Yuli County to Qiemo County was started in October 2017. The starting point is in Yuli County, Xinjiang, and the end point is Qiemo County. The two ends of Yuli County and Qiemo County will be constructed at the same time. The driving mileage between the two places has been shortened by 280 kilometers, and the driving time has been shortened from 12 hours to 6 hours, opening up the economic artery of the hinterland of the Taklimakan Desert in the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.
