VIENTIANE (Xinhua): The Chinese engineers on the China-Laos railway construction sites have been pulling out all the stops in their efforts to extend the railway in the northern Laos' mountains and over the Mekong River amid the global Covid-19 pandemic.
At the northern end of the China-Laos railway, some 400km north of Vientiane, the capital and largest city of Laos, the China Railway No. 5 Engineering Group drilled through the Ban Konlouang Tunnel, a key bottleneck project of the China-Laos Railway on April 29,43 days ahead of schedule.
In the central section of the China-Laos Railway, Chinese engineers from CREC-8 on April 23 completed the T-beam setting of the Luang Prabang cross-Mekong River super major bridge, and finished all the beam installation. After more than three months of swift yet vigorous work and intensive high-pressure beam fixing, 35-year-old Luo found more grey hair on the head.
In the sweltering heat of March and April, with the temperature often exceeding 40 degrees centigrade in Laos, the Chinese team all went to the construction's frontline near Vangvieng, some 160km north of Vientiane. He said his team is currently strictly handling the anti-pandemic efforts and making every effort to complete a project within the framework demonstrative of the Belt and Road Initiative.
