The Shiziyang grand bridge in south China's Guangdong Province has entered superstructure construction phase after the completion of its two main towers.
With a height equivalent to a 110-story building, the main towers of the bridge were topped out on Thursday.
The Shiziyang Channel is another mega infrastructure project after the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link in south China's Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
As a critical part of the project, the Shiziyang grand bridge has a main span of 2,180 meters connecting the east and west banks of the Pearl River estuary in Guangdong.
Upon completion, it will play an important role in the development of the Pearl River Estuary area.
