STORYLINE:
A new tunnel across the Yangtze River in Wuhu City, east China's Anhui Province is being constructed as the second shield-tunneling machine started excavating recently.
With a total length of about 6 km, this tunnel project is the first river tunnel across the Yangtze in Anhui Province and can reach over 70 meters deep underground.
The tunnel is designed to have a two-way six-lane highway with a designed speed of 80 km/h.
This tunnel is scheduled to open to traffic at the end of 2024. It will shorten the journey between Wuhu's new district and its main urban zone to 5 minutes, nearly half an hour quicker than the current roundabout route by bridge.
