Yulin-Cenxi rail wraps up girder erection

The Yulin-Cenxi section of the Nanning-Zhuhai High-Speed Railway marked a breakthrough on June 16, as the final 32-meter precast box girder was installed on a super bridge near Yulin North Station, marking the first bid section to complete girder erection in the entire segment.

Since launching the girder installation in November 2023, the China Railway No 2 Group team has overcome tight schedules, complex cross-construction, and high-risk operations.

As an extension of the under-construction Nanning-Yulin section of the Nanning-Zhuhai line, the 111-km Yulin-Cenxi section is expected to be constructed in a 42-month timeline, featuring three stations. It employs the advanced bridge girder erection machine, exemplifying Guangxi's high-speed rail innovation.
