en.Wedoany.com Reported - As of now, the steel structure hoisting heights of the cable towers on both banks of the Lugu Lake Extra-Large Bridge, a key control project of the Xichang-Xianggelila Expressway, have both exceeded 200 meters. Specifically, the cable tower on the Xichang bank has reached a height of 216.9 meters, while that on the Xianggelila bank has reached 223.5 meters, officially entering the final sprint phase for topping out. The cable towers on both banks are expected to be topped out in the second half of this year, laying a solid foundation for the main bridge closure.

The Xichang-Xianggelila Expressway has a total length of approximately 233 kilometers, with a bridge-tunnel ratio of 73.36%. Located in the alpine gorge area at the border between Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, the Lugu Lake Extra-Large Bridge features a main span of 1,680 meters, making it the world's longest-span mountain suspension bridge. Once completed, the bridge will significantly shorten travel time from Xichang to Lugu Lake, Xianggelila, and other areas, playing an important role in promoting resource development and regional coordinated growth in the Panxi Economic Zone.
