Jiluo Road North Extension Tunnel beneath the Yellow River opens

Photo taken on Aug 10, 2025 marks the opening of the Jiluo Road North Extension Tunnel beneath the Yellow River in Jinan City, east China's Shandong Province. As an extension of the "First Tunnel Under the Yellow River", this 4,328-meter passage (with 2,045-meter shield section) passes under the Hanji Railway and Queshan Reservoir, connecting to National Highway 308. The dual-tube design integrates road and rail functions: upper level features a six-lane highway (60km/h), while the lower level reserves space for future rail transit. (Xu Zhou/Guangming Pictures)
