Builders from China Railway No.4 Engineering Group Co., Ltd. (CREC4) have made new progress on the superstructure of a super railway bridge for a major high-speed railway in South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
By October 12, 2023, constructors from CREC4 Fifth Engineering Co Ltd have completed more than half of the engineering work on the super railway bridge traversing the Landscape Avenue in Rongxian County for the Yulin-Cenxi Railway, which runs between prefecture-level Yulin City and Cenxi County under prefecture-level Wuzhou City in Guangxi.
They successfully finished pouring the pile foundations for the No 3 to No 8 blocks, or the first continuous beam, on the super bridge traversing Landscape Avenue on October 12.
The Yulin-Cenxi Railway is part of the Nanning-Shenzhen High-speed Railway. It is a key project invested and constructed by Guangxi in a bid to to comprehensively integrate itself into the development of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Cenxi sits at the border with Guangdong Province.
The super bridge traversing Landscape Avenue is one of the engineering projects on the Yulin-Cenxi section of the Nanning-Shenzhen High-speed Railway. With a total length of 2,813 meters, its tallest bridge pier stands up to 18.5 meters high.
With a total length of some 111 kilometers and a designed speed of 350 km per hour, the Yuxi-Cenxi Railway has three stations — Yulin North Station, Rongxian South Station and Cenxi East Station. Starting its construction on a trial basis on December 26, 2020, Yuxi-Cenxi Railway officially kicked off its construction on September 30, 2022.
Upon completion, the Yulin-Cenxi Railway will help boost the joint development of the Beibu Gulf Economic Zone and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
