Construction continues on the 1,034.2 kilometer Pinglu Canal, a backbone project for China's western land-sea corridor. Control commands are issued from the central control room to ensure precision. The metal structure of the gates is equipped with an intelligent monitoring and alarm system that identifies abnormal force or operational deviations. The system utilizes hydraulic opening and closing machines to manage gates weighing between 100 and nearly 1,000 tons. Technicians conducted testing on the mechanical transmission, hydraulic supply, and electrical control systems of the Pinglu Canal project. The testing focused on the synchronization and opening/closing speed of the gates. A local control system will eventually replace manual operations to achieve automated control.

Construction teams are advancing the final stages of the Pinglu Canal project to ensure completion and navigation. Construction of the Pinglu Canal in Guangxi has entered the comprehensive acceleration stage.

The new bridge extends the canal's length by 587 meters and increases the navigation clearance by 9.3 meters. According to engineer Yuan Minyang, the completion of this bridge marks the finalization of all 27 canal bridges within the Pinglu Canal project. Engineer Yuan Minyang stated the bridge extends 587 meters in length and has been raised by 9.3 meters to ensure navigation. The new bridges must have a clearance of at least 18 meters to accommodate 5,000-ton vessels. This replaces older, lower bridges that were positioned in the middle of the waterway, obstructing passage. This height and increased width allow vessels of up to 5,000 tons to pass through the canal. The project involved rebuilding or modifying previous structures that were too low or narrow for current shipping needs. Construction included widening bridge decks and increasing lanes to improve local traffic flow.

The Zicai Bridge in Guangxi has undergone upgrades to its main structure. The main bridge width increased by 4.5 meters and the length extended by 587 meters. The bridge clearance height was raised by 9.3 meters. Engineer Yuan Mingyang from Guangxi Pinglu Canal Construction Co., Ltd. stated the bridge serves both maritime navigation and daily commuting. The new design retains the aesthetic style of the original bridge spanning the Qingjiang River.
