On the afternoon of July 18, the wind tower on the south bank of the Shantou Gulf Tunnel with the theme "Maritime Silk Road Gateway" was successfully capped, which meant that the main body construction had been completed.

The Shantou Gulf Tunnel sets up a wind tower on the north and south banks separately as a ventilation for the tunnel. Among them, the wind tower on the south bank was first constructed in November last year. The tower is 64.8 meters high and 10.7 meters in diameter. A modern configuration method is adopted in its appearance, which reflects the characteristics of Shantou as the gateway to the Maritime Silk Road and expresses the influence of the Chaoshan culture in the world. The successful capping of the wind tower on the south bank means that the main construction has been completed. Later, construction of the external decoration of the glass curtain walls will be carried out. Construction of the wind tower on the north bank will also be started, which will become the iconic landmark of the bay tunnel.

汕头海湾隧道南岸风塔完成主体工程建设

7月18日下午，主题为 “海丝门户”的汕头海湾隧道南岸风塔顺利封顶，完成主体工程建设。

汕头海湾隧道在南北两岸各设立一个风塔，作为隧道的通风设施。其中，南岸风塔于去年11月初先启动建设，塔高64.8米、直径10.7米，外观上采用较现代的形构手法，体现汕头作为海上丝绸之路门户的特点，同时也表达潮汕文化在世界范围传播的影响力。南岸风塔成功封顶，意味着主体工程已经完成，下来将进行玻璃幕墙等外部装饰。而北岸的风塔也将启动建设，共同形成海湾隧道的形象地标。
