Construction of the Three Gorges new waterway project began this week in Hubei province—the first major national infrastructure project launched during China’s 15th Five-Year Plan period. Designed to ease shipping pressure on the Yangtze River, China’s “golden waterway”, the new channel is expected to allow 10,000-tonne vessels to travel further inland upon completion.🚢
