Construction Complete On New High-Speed Rail Tunnel
onstruction has just completed on the 14-mile (23-kilometer) Desheng tunnel—China's longest single bore, double-track tunnel, which will accommodate high-speed trains traveling at nearly 125 MPH.
Situated close to an active fault zone, project workers had to deal with earthquakes and landslides during the tunnel's 10-year construction. It is one of 30 such tunnels in the country of a similar size or larger.
