Some 1,000 Chinese workers on Monday night managed to upgrade the high-speed railway by installing a new railway junction in less than seven hours. The construction, which is a key project of a mega water diversion project taking water from the Yangtze River to the Huaihe River, connects a newly-built line with the existing railway line.
