ZHOUSHAN, January 2026 — The ongoing development of integrated transport infrastructure is crucial for economic growth in Asia's coastal regions. The Fuchimen road-rail bridge project in Zhejiang Province exemplifies this trend, serving as a key component of the vital Ningbo-Zhoushan Railway network.
Construction has reached a significant milestone with the successful completion of the concrete pouring for the crossbeam on the east main tower of the Fuchimen road-rail bridge. This structure spans approximately 1,726 meters, featuring a 388-meter main span designed to accommodate both a double-track railway and a six-lane expressway.
This achievement represents a breakthrough in the primary structure of the main tower, laying essential groundwork for the subsequent installation of the entire bridge deck system. The project's progression is vital for improving logistical capabilities and connectivity between Zhoushan Island and Fuchi Island.
The Fuchimen bridge connects Zhoushan Island and Fuchi Island, underscoring the strategic importance of this infrastructure for the Ningbo-Zhoushan Railway. Its dual-purpose design highlights a modern approach to maximizing transport efficiency and capacity in a key economic zone.
As China pushes forward with its extensive rail and infrastructure expansion plans, projects like the Fuchimen road-rail bridge demonstrate a commitment to enhancing multimodal transport networks, crucial for regional trade and economic integration across Asia.
