The Tarim River is the longest inland river in my country, with a total length of 2179 kilometers and a basin area of ​​about 1.02 million square kilometers. For thousands of years, the surging river has nourished generations in the basin.

The road route across the Tarim River. This river channel is more than 50 meters wide, but the construction of the high bridge is 1297 meters long.

At the beginning of the design, the echo was not so long. "At that time, according to the width of the river and the growth of the euphratica on both sides, the design length of the bridge was hundreds of meters." Wang Yunfei said.

The bridge is short, which means that the roadbed at the connection must be long. In this case, it is bound to occupy farmland and cut the euphratica forest, which will cause damage to the Tarim River ecology.

"We communicated and discussed with multiple units such as the designer, and finally decided to extend the length of the bridge, allowing the bridge to cross the area directly from this area. , The most efforts to recover naturally. "Wang Yunfei said.

Reducing the construction of the roadbed and extending the bridge span, reducing the damage to the surrounding ecological environment, which means increased costs. Wang Yunfei said: "After the bridge was extended, the construction cost increased by more than 20 million yuan, but it was worth it to look at the river water and rich forest grass at the foot of the feet."

During the construction process, road builders set up logo signs, and to detour the artilicon intensive area through circles and lines, and strive to reduce the damage to the local ecological environment during the construction of the route during the construction of the route construction and increase the survival rate of Populus ecological environment. Regarding the ungrate euphratica, the builders assist the local forestry authorities in accordance with the principle of "one supplement one" to ensure the balance of the balancing of the local forestry authorities.

"The ecological environment in the desert is fragile. In the process of renovation, protecting a river and a puzzle is the lifeline that protects our descendants." Wang Yunfei said.
