China News Service, Nanning, September 19 (Wang Baichuan) On September 19, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the construction of the girder of the Lingli Bridge in Nanning is in full swing, and the steel truss of the main bridge will be constructed as soon as possible.
Sun Lei, an employee of China Construction Road and Bridge Group, was sweating profusely at the construction site of the project.
Like many builders, this is not the first time he has spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in a field.
In order to ensure the progress of the project, Sun Lei is still on the front line of work during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday.
Sun Lei said: "I am used to it and my family can understand it. Fortunately, we have nothing to do. I hope that the bridge will be opened to traffic as soon as possible so that everyone can travel."
At the ferry crossing of Lingli Town, Qingxiu District, Nanning City, citizens visiting relatives and friends must line up to take the ferry and cross the river during the festive holiday.
The Yongjiang River passes through Lingli Town, and because there is no bridge, the local residents on both sides of the strait can only rely on ferry.
Not far from the ferry, the Lingli Bridge is under construction. After it is completed and opened to traffic, the local traffic environment will be improved.
The ferry in Lingli Town is divided into car ferry and passenger ferry. Local residents are accustomed to taking passenger ferry, but the ferry is suspended after dark.
During the holidays and festivals, there are more traffic, and citizens have to wait in line for about an hour to cross the river by car.
In the event of heavy rains, flooding during the flood season, and suspension of ferry boats, residents on the north bank cannot travel across the river.
Therefore, building a bridge has become the eager expectation of local residents.
In April 2020, construction of the Lingli Bridge project undertaken by China State Construction Road and Bridge Group started. This project is the first batch of major projects undertaken by Qingxiu District in Nanning City, Guangxi to coordinate and promote major projects at the autonomous region level in 2020. It is also a sign of Qingxiu District’s implementation of the strategy of a strong capital. It is a major project with a planned construction period of 33 months and a total investment of about 662 million yuan. The bridge adopts the first-class highway standard construction with a total length of 1.969 kilometers and is expected to be completed in January 2023.
According to reports, when the Lingli Bridge is completed and opened to traffic, it will end the history of northern shore residents relying on the ferry for transportation, and cross the Yongjiang River more quickly and conveniently. At the same time, it will further optimize the overall planning of Lingli Town, improve the regional road network layout, improve traffic conditions, and accelerate The development of industrial parks and the promotion of the economic and social development of Lingli Town and the eastern region of Nanning will also play an important role in promoting.
