Box girder construction commenced Nov 10 on Zhuhai Airport Urban Rail Transit Phase II in a yard near East Airport Road in Sanzao Town, Jinwan District.

The yard is responsible for prefabrication and erection of 138-hole 32-m (35-yd) and 21-hole 24-m (26-yd) box girders, which are main beams in the shape of a hollow box. Concrete casting will be completed by July 2020, laying a solid foundation for the bridge erection.

Zhuhai Airport Urban Rail Transit Phase II, which runs 23 km (14 miles) from Hengqin New Area to Zhuhai (Jinwan) Airport, is to be completed by January 2023. Space will be reserved for connection to the Guangzhou-Foshan-Jiangmen-Zhuhai Intercity MRT.

Elsewhere, joint debugging and commissioning have begun on the 17-km (10.5-mile) Phase I from Intercity MRT Zhuhai Station in Gongbei to Hengqin Chimelong Station, which is scheduled to open by Nov 20.

Upon completion of the entire project, only 30 minutes will be needed to travel from Gongbei to the airport. It will also link up the intercity mass rail transit systems of Zhuhai, Guangzhou, Foshan, and Macao to form a comprehensive transportation network in the Pearl River Delta.
