Recently, the Longhu Section Project of Shanbei Boulevard ushered in another important milestone. The mid-span of the main bridge of Xinjin River Grand Bridge, the cable-stayed bridge of the low tower of Eastern Guangdong Tower V, was smoothly capped, thus successfully realizing the connectivity of crossing the water between the north and south banks of the Xinjin River. The connectivity has laid a solid foundation for the opening of traffic conditions across the entire boulevard at the end of September.

The main bridge of Xinjin River is a cable-stayed bridge in the form of the consolidation of tower and beam, which is constructed by the cantilever method of hanging basket. Among the projects already built or under construction in China, it is a rare cable-stayed bridge that spans the river and the highway at the same time. It will become a new landmark on the bank of the Xinjin River in the future. The Longhu Section of Shanbei Boulevard, as an important passageway in the east of central urban area, is designed as an urban expressway. After the project is completed and opened to traffic, it will connect with Chenghai Section of Shanbei Boulevard, and directly reach Yanhong Town in Chenghai District, which will strongly promote the urbanization construction of Chenghai District and the northeast of Longhu District, and is of great significance for promoting regional economic development.
