With the pouring of the last bucket of concrete completed, the construction of all 100 piles for the west approach bridge section of the Wenchang Road West Extension Project's Provincial Highway 418 bridge contract 1, which crosses over the Ningqi Railway, was recently finished. “Like 100 ‘pillars holding up the sky’ standing at the westernmost end of Wenchang Road, it is very spectacular,” construction workers told reporters yesterday.

    The construction task for the Provincial Highway 418 section of the Wenchang Road West Extension Project is the west approach bridge portion of Wenchang Road crossing over the Ningqi Railway. The route length is 450 meters, with a total of 15 spans. The superstructure consists of 30-meter prestressed small box girders, and the substructure uses pile-column piers and abutments with bored cast-in-place pile foundations. The contract section is scheduled to complete all construction work by October 2014.
