Xi'an-Ankang High-Speed Railway Achieves Full Tunnel Breakthrough, Accelerating Construction Progress

Amid resounding cheers, the final tunnel along the Xi'an-Ankang High-Speed Railway (XKA HSR)—the Qinling Jiutianshan Tunnel—was successfully holed through on May 13. This milestone marks the complete breakthrough of all 20 tunnels along the route.

Currently, construction is in full swing across the project, with progress rapidly advancing on its 33 bridges, 10 subgrade sections, and six newly built station buildings.
