An important highway project is being carried out in China. The project calls for the construction of the second and third phase of the G235 Youxi Xicheng-Xinyang highway.

Work is already being carried out on the first phase of the highway. This includes preparatory works for the new Tengban Bridge as well as for the main road alignment.

The project is costing an estimated US$171.5 million and the highway will be around 40km long. Of note is that the road is being constructed of concrete.
