SloveniaAn article reports on the completion of a major construction milestone in northern China, where engineers successfully connected the central section of the Dalian Changhai Bridge, which measures over 11 kilometers. The total length of this transoceanic steel structure will reach 25.5 kilometers. The project required significant engineering efforts, including driving 3,431 piles into the seabed and using more than 67,000 tons of steel. This achievement marks the transition to a critical phase of constructing the main foundations for the southern part of the project. The bridge connects the island of Dachangshan in Changhai district with the mainland port of Pikou in Pulandian district. Previously, the Changhai district, the only Chinese coastal border district, relied entirely on maritime transport due to frequent disruptions caused by strong winds, heavy fog, and tidal changes. These conditions led to over 60 days of service interruptions annually, severely impacting daily mobility and economic development. The new bridge will provide reliable, round-the-clock land connectivity between the island and the mainland, with the first vehicles expected to cross the bridge in 2029.
Bias read (Center): The article presents a factual report on a large-scale infrastructure project without overt ideological framing. While the topic relates to national development and strategic infrastructure, the tone remains neutral, focusing on technical achievements and their implications for regional connectivity
