Construction has been completed on the main buildings of the Wuqiao Airport, the first airport at Three Gorges, the site of a massive on-going hydroelectric project. The airport, which includes a passenger terminal, telecommunications facilities and navigation and other related facilities, is expected to begin trial operations later in the year, according to Li Yutang, an official in charge of airport construction. Covering more than 120 hectares, the Wuqiao Airport, located in the Wanzhou District of Chongqing Municipality, in southwest China,can accommodate B737-300, A320-200 and MD-82 aircraft. Total investment has reached 370 million yuan (44.96 million US dollars). Other facilities at the airport are expected to be completed before the Three Gorges Reservoir begins stockpiling water in June this year, said Li. Because of its geographical location, water transport has long played a key role in the Three Gorges area. The Daxian-Wanzhou railway, the first rail route leading to the reservoir area along the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, was completed and opened to traffic last year. |
