GUANGZHOU, July 23 (Xinhua) -- The grand cable-stayed bridge, a section for the Nansha Port railway, has finished its final stayed cables installation on Wednesday. The bridge, spanning 1,117.5 meters, is expected to be joined up at the end of this month.
The Nansha Port is located at the center of the Pearl River Delta and boasts important geographic advantages. In 2015, Nansha District in southeast Guangzhou became one of the pilot free trade zones (FTZs) to promote foreign trade and investment.
