[The Jialing River Super Large Bridge was successfully closed and the commute from Langzhong to Yingshan will be shortened to 40 minutes] On September 27, after more than three years of construction, the Jialing River Super Large Bridge on the Langying Expressway in Nanchong, Sichuan was successfully closed on the 26th. The bridge has a total length of 1,379 meters and a deck width of 32.5 meters. It is a cable-stayed bridge with twin towers and double cable planes. It is a key control project of the Langying Expressway. The bridge was successfully closed, laying the foundation for the completion and opening of the entire Langying Expressway to traffic by the end of this year. According to reports, the main project of the bridge has been completed, and work such as guardrail construction and road paving will be carried out next. The Langying Expressway is 103 kilometers long, connecting Langzhong City, Nanbu County, Yilong County, Peng'an County and Yingshan County. The entire line is expected to be completed and open to traffic by the end of this year. By then, Nanchong City will realize county-county expressway access, and the travel time from Langzhong City to Yingshan County will be shortened from the current two and a half hours to 40 minutes. This will further improve the regional road network in northeastern Sichuan, drive the coordinated development of towns and industries along the line, and assist the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing twin-city economic circle.
