A number of major road and bridge projects are now commencing in China. In Sichuan Province an environmental impact assessment report is being carried out for the Jigzhi-Barkam highway project. Work is starting shortly on the highway, which will stretch 224km and is expected to cost US$4.3 billion to construct. The report is being carried out by the province’s Ecology and 2759 Environment Agency. This new highway will provide many challenges to construction due to the topography of the route and will feature 190 bridges in all, as well as a total of 33.36km of tunnels.

Meanwhile a new 5.1km bridge will be constructed to span the Yellow River, close to the city of Binzhou in Shandong Province. The new bridge is expected to cost close to US$422 million to build and will improve transport to and from Binzhou’s new industrial development area. It will form part of a 17km highway link from the Bohai 11th Road in Binzhou to the GaoQing ZhaoBan Road.
