At 10 a.m. on January 19, as the last batch of concrete was poured into the designated area, the pouring of the lower cross beam of the main tower of the Beijiang Grand Bridge was completed. The bridge is part of the Qinghua Expressway project, a key construction project of major transport infrastructure under Guangdong Province's 14th Five-Year Plan.

The main bridge of the Beijiang Grand Bridge is 1,440 meters long and is a four-tower cable-stayed bridge with two cable planes and a main span of 360 meters. It is a key controlling project of the Qinghua Expressway. Its cable towers resemble diamonds in shape, and the tower crowns are like phoenix tail feathers. Once completed, it will become a new landmark of Qingyuan City.

According to Hou Xueqing, Party branch secretary of the Qinghua Expressway project of China Railway Major Bridge Engineering Group, the lower cross beam of the main tower of the Beijiang Grand Bridge was constructed simultaneously with the tower columns, using the cast-in-place method with scaffolding. The No. 5 cable tower poured this time has a total height of 144.78 meters and is divided into 25 pouring segments.

The Qinghua Expressway starts in the north of Qingyuan City, where a Wuxing interchange is set up in Taihe Town, Qingxin District to connect with the Shanzhan Expressway. It then passes southwest of Chini Town and the west side of Tanbu Town before connecting to the Guangzhou Huadu West Second Ring Expressway, with a total length of 54 kilometers.

The Qinghua Expressway links three industrial parks in Qingyuan (the Shantang Town Industrial Park and Taiping Town Industrial Park in Qingxin District, and the Guangzhou-Qingyuan Special Economic Cooperation Zone), as well as industrial parks including the Western Advanced Manufacturing Base, the Huadu International Advanced Equipment Manufacturing Industrial Park, and the New Energy Vehicle and Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park. The Qinghua Expressway will effectively connect the various industrial parks and create an industrial clustering effect. At the same time, once the project is completed, it will help build a northbound corridor from eastern Foshan through Qingyuan, and is of great significance for strengthening the radiating role of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in Qingyuan and advancing the integrated development of Guangzhou and Qingyuan.
