Sections of int’l rail bridge joined on Lancang River

Pictures taken by a Xinhua reporter on September 24 show the bridge sections of the Dali-Lincang railway, which is part of the planned China-Myanmar international railway, were joined over Lancang River in west Yunnan’s Nanjian County.

With a total length of 431.6 meters, the double-track rail bridge makes the longest of its kind that are being built in the zones of high seismic intensity worldwide.
