Changde-Yiyang-Changsha Railway Bridge Completes Rotation

The aerial photo, taken on April 26, shows the Ningxiang Grand Bridge, a section of the Changde-Yiyang-Changsha High-speed Railway, after rotation construction has been completed. The bridge was constructed by the China Railway 24th Bureau Group. Via numerical control technology, it was rotated to its targeted position after completing a 23-degree rotation in only 50 minutes, which is crucial to the railway construction progress. The railway is an important component of China’s “eight horizontal and eight vertical” high-speed railway network. Its main track is 157 km in length, with a design speed of 350 km per hour. It links Changde, Yiyang, and Changsha cities, and will open to traffic by the end of 2022. (Photo/Liao Songyi)
