On May 22, the main tower of Pier 4 of the Ma'anshan Yangtze River Highway and Railway Bridge on the Chaoma Intercity Railway (Chaohu Ma'anshan) contracted by China Railway Bridge Bureau was successfully capped. The main tower is the middle tower of the bridge, 345 meters high, and is the highest main tower of the whole bridge. So far, the three main towers of the Maanshan Yangtze River Highway and Railway Bridge on the Chaoma Intercity Railway have all been capped, and the cantilever erection of steel beams is about to begin.

Maanshan Yangtze River Highway and Railway Bridge is a control project of the whole Chaoma Intercity Railway, with a total length of 9.8 kilometers. It is designed as a three tower steel truss girder cable-stayed bridge. Chaoma Intercity Railway is an important part of the national "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed railway network between Hefei and Shanghai on the Shanghai Wuhan Chengdu fast track, with a design speed of 350 kilometers per hour.
