Lixinsha Bridge navigation fully restored in Guangzhou

Standard navigation for vessels passing through the Lixinsha Bridge waterway was restored on Tuesday after the emergency repair and anti-collision reinforcement project was completed in Guangzhou's Nansha district, Guangdong province. According to a statement released by the Guangzhou Maritime Safety Administration on Tuesday, the administration has made every effort to ensure the repair, reconstruction and reinforcement of the bridge piers to restore the navigation along the busy waterway. Meanwhile, the administration arranged guard ships on 24-hour emergency duty in the upstream and downstream waters and used electronic cruise control systems daily to ensure the construction project was completed on schedule. The administration introduced temporary traffic controls in the waterway after the 787-meter Lixinsha Bridge, which spans the Pearl River's Hongliqi waterway, was hit by a barge, causing a central section to collapse.
