Steady construction progress during pandemic: 4 months ahead of previous delivery date

Funded with a total investment of about 100 million yuan designated for 2 bridges, Sanshan Luweiqiao Waterway Bridge Project is located at Wenhanhu Lake Park in the Nanhai Area of Sanlongwan. Geographically advantaged as it is, the project spans Luweiqiao Waterway from south to north, which is seen as not only an essential part of Wenhanhu Lake Park, but also a key infrastructure that improves local pedestrian network and economic growth.

In a spirit of professionalism, the Construction Bureau of Nanhai Area of Sanlongwan was expected to finish the project 4 months ahead of the original plan, in spite of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that had added more challenge to the construction work.

As planned, the construction will finish paving marble on the bridge deck this June and installing lighting devices for the main body of the bridge by the end of August.

In a strategic view, Sanshan will be developed into a demonstration zone for ecological construction in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
