Construction Begins on Main Project to Expand Gezhouba Shipping Canal as Part of New Three Gorges Waterway Channel

Construction has officially started on the upstream and downstream cofferdams for the Gezhouba Shipping Canal expansion project, a key component of the new Three Gorges waterway channel. These cofferdams will work with the riverbanks to protect the construction area, creating the necessary conditions for dry-land construction of the new 10,000-tonne ship lock. This marks the beginning of the main construction phase for the Gezhouba Shipping Canal expansion project. (CCTV News)
