FUZHOU, Nov. 30 (Xinhua) -- The main structure of the Quanzhou Bay cross-sea bridge, part of the 277-km Fuzhou-Xiamen high-speed railway, was completed Tuesday. The bridge is 20.29 km long in total, with its sea bridge measuring 8.96 km in length.

With a designed speed of 350 km per hour, the high-speed railway is expected to slash the travel time from the province's capital Fuzhou to the tourist attraction Xiamen within one hour.
