The construction of the overpass crossing the Datong-Qinhuangdao Railway Road was completed.
Located in Ji county of Tianjin, the project is being built by the Sixth Engineering Bureau of the China Railway Group Tianjin Company. It includes a six-lane highway crossing Datong-Qinhuangdao Railway Road and the Xibang Road. As an important part of the Beijing-Qinhuangdao Highway, the 994-meter-long overpass had to cross a major railway without disrupting it.
The Datong-Qinhuangdao Railway is the country’s first electrified coal line capable of heavy load trains. The line handles one train every eight minutes.
One of the greatest difficulties was safety issues. A special safety and quality monitoring team was established at the beginning of construction.
As a major project connecting North China and Northeast China, the Beijing-Qinhuangdao Highway will further shorten the travel time between Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei And enhance Tianjin’s position as a transportation pivot.
