Construction of the Yuhuan section of the Taizhou No 1 Highway is currently in full swing and is scheduled to be completed before 2025, according to local media reports.

The Taizhou No 1 Highway starts from Shepan Island in Sanmen county and passes by Linhai city, Jiaojiang district, Luqiao district and Wenling city before ending at Haishan Island in Yuhuan city.

The 273-kilometer road hugs the coastline and connects a number of scenic spots including Shepan Island, Baisha Bay, Nianhua Bay and Shitang town.

The section in the county-level city of Yuhuan spans about 75 km and has an investment of more than 9 billion yuan ($1.3 billion).

Seventy to eighty percent of the pile-foundation work for Xishamen Bridge, the starting point of the Linhai section, is projected to be finished this year, according to Yang Wei, an assistant manager for the project.

At the section's terminus - Haishan Island, the greenery work at the entrance area has been completed following the road paving.
