Construction works have begun on the Yichang section of China’s new Yichang-Yueyang expressway. Covering 51.8km, the Yichang expressway section will cost around US$613.35 million (CNY 3.82bn).
Work is now being carried out on a new expressway around the Chinese city of Shenzhen. This new route will form part of the Pearl River Delta expressway network and will also connect with 12 other national highways and expressways. The 76km expressway is due to open to traffic in 2018. The project is complex as it will include 12 tunnels and 82 bridges, with the overall cost estimated at US$4.35 billion.
The construction of China’s US$3.85 billion (CNY 23.59 billion) Ya'an-Kangding highway will be completed and put into operation during 2017. Meanwhile, the environmental impact assessment (EIA) report for the 133.97km highway project is said to have been completed.
A total of US$1.89billion (CNY 11.97bn) has been allocated to build 51.47km of highways across the city of Shijiazhuang in Hebei Province, China. The feasibility report for the plan was recently approved by provincial authorities.
