2. Technical Features and Innovative Points
1. The Anhui section waterway of Wuhu-Shanghai Canal is “One Branch” of Anhui Backbone Waterway Network (Two Trunk Lines and Three Branches), and is also “One Transverse” of the Yangtze River Delta High-Grade Waterway Network (Two Lengthways and Six Transverse Waterways) in accordance with the National Inland Waterway and Port Layout Plan.
2. After the current Wuhu-Shanghai Canal is improved according to Level III waterway standard, the navigation pressure of the Canal from Wuhu to Nanjing and Shanghai will get relieved, and the shipping pressure on the Yangtze River will be also reduced. When completed, Wuhu-ShanghaiCanalwill be navigable for 1000t barges, reducing 170km compared to the voyage along the Yangtze River.
3. Innovative Achievements (Certificate of Awards)
