At the construction site of the Xiangshuitan Bridge at the Qinjia Junction of the Chengdu-Emeishan Expressway, there is likewise a bustling scene of racing against time. As one of the major projects under the national 14th Five-Year Plan, the project's post-holiday resumption rate has reached 100%.

Workers are stepping up construction of the bridge piers and columns; 153 of the 175 pile foundations have been completed, and the entire substructure is expected to be fully finished by October this year. "The Dongpo section is about 35 kilometers long. Once completed, Chengdu and Mount Emei will be connected by a one-hour direct trip, and Dongpo will truly transform from a transportation 'pass-through point' into a regional 'destination.'"

This dual-direction, six-lane expressway artery will inject a steady stream of vitality into agriculture, cultural tourism, and industry along the route.
