As the core support for the capacity expansion and upgrading of the port cluster on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the Dajiaoshi Operation Area (Phase I) project of the Longjiang Port Zone of Luzhou Port fully started construction in March. At present, the earthwork and stonework have been basically completed, the first-stage 240-meter island reclamation construction at the wharf front and all 165 bored pile foundations have been "settled in place," with a cumulative investment of 388 million yuan, accounting for 71.9% of the annual plan and exceeding the scheduled progress by 22 percentage points.

"Before entering the main flood season, we seized the window period, deployed an average of 12 sets of large equipment per day, and completed the first-stage island reclamation and bored pile construction tasks to high standards," introduced Zhang Yang, project manager of Sichuan Luzhou Jiangbei Port Industrial Park Investment and Development Co., Ltd. He added that the bored pile construction for Approach Bridges No. 1 and No. 2 is currently being accelerated.

As the first supporting port for a heavy equipment industrial park in Sichuan Province, the project is also the only key bulk and general cargo rail-water intermodal transport shore section in the Sichuan section of the Yangtze River mainline. Relying on the "water, road, rail, air and postal" multimodal transport system and backed by the heavy equipment industrial park, the project is planned as a comprehensive port integrating green shipbuilding and LNG bunkering. Once completed, the project will add heavy-lift cargo transport functions to Luzhou Port and become one of Sichuan's most convenient corridors for heavy-lift cargo leaving the province.
