BEIJING, July 23 (Xinhua) — The first cargo transported through the sea-highway-railway multimodal transportation system in the city of Rongcheng in Shandong Province has successfully cleared customs through the port of Shidao, east China, according to a statement posted on the website of Qingdao Customs.

According to the report, the customs clearance of this cargo was carried out under the supervision of customs officers in Rongcheng, which is under the jurisdiction of Qingdao Customs.

The container with the cargo was delivered to the port of Shidao by sea from the port of Incheon /Republic of Korea/ and will be transported by road to the city of Jiaozhou in Shandong Province. Then it will be transported by rail to Kyrgyzstan, crossing the state border through Kashgar in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region /Northwest China/.

According to customs data, the new transportation model combines existing resources, such as the developed sea freight sector by scheduled liners between China and the Republic of Korea, China's highly efficient road networks, and the increasingly improved international railway freight services between China and Central Asia. This model will reduce overall transportation time and reduce complex logistics costs. -0-

BEIJING, July 23 (Xinhua) — China will tighten regulations on intelligent driving as current "smart driving" systems in vehicles have not yet reached the target of full autonomous driving, Wang Qiang, head of the Traffic Regulation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, said Wednesday.

"The driver remains the primary responsible party for driving," Wang Qiang said at a press conference organized by the State Council Information Office.

We continue to tell how the student teams of "Polytech" spend their work season. With the beginning of summer holidays, the guys went all over the country to change the environment, earn money and get useful skills for independent living. Today, together with the SSO "Flame" we will visit Surgut, at the construction of a road bridge across the Ob River.

The second Surgut bridge is being built to relieve the only existing crossing over the Ob River, opened in 2000. In general, the facility is a transport network, including a highway, three overpasses, four small bridges and several interchanges. It will connect several Russian regions, help develop the oil and gas industry and the Arctic. The construction of the second Surgut bridge has been declared an all-Russian student construction project. The work is gradually moving towards the end, and the builders expect that thanks to young and energetic assistants, they will complete the construction already in the fourth quarter of this year.

Meanwhile, the guys from "Plamen" are sandblasting the metal structures inside the bridge, carefully cleaning them from traces of corrosion. The girls are not far behind – they paint the bolted connections and welds so that they do not become covered in rust again.

"We went to Surgut for the first time, where we are working with the contractor VMP-Engineering. Despite the completely new conditions, the members of our unit are working on the construction site with great pleasure and helping to complete the facility by the scheduled deadlines," said SSO "Flame" fighter Dmitry Chernyshov.

Students gain valuable experience working with compressors, sandblasting equipment, improve their skills in electricity, mechanics and find new friends. For many, this becomes an important stage in professional development and personal growth. Well, in their free time, the guys explore the sights of Surgut and the local cuisine, walk in the parks, ride the rides, and in the evenings in the hostel the whole group watches films and holds commissar meetings.

During the construction of the ZIL station on the Troitskaya metro line, it was decided to increase the area of improvement of the adjacent territory. As a result, there will be more greenery here, said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction Vladimir Efimov.

"The ZIL station of the Troitskaya metro line is being built in the very heart of the actively developing cluster of the capital on the site of a former industrial zone and is designed to significantly improve the transport accessibility of the area. For the convenience of passengers and local residents, during the construction process it was decided to expand the area of complex improvement by increasing the volume of landscaping – it will cover almost 40 thousand square meters. As part of the entire project, on an area of 60 thousand square meters, in addition to green spaces, lawns and flower beds, asphalt paving and granite paving will also be carried out, and small architectural forms will be installed," said Vladimir Efimov.

The area of flower beds has doubled compared to the original project. This is also due to the fact that the territory adjacent to the new station borders the Tyufeleva Roshcha Park and, according to the designers, will be maintained in its style.

According to the General Director of JSC Mosinzhproekt, Maxim Gaman, specialists will lay a lawn near the station, organize flower beds, plant several thousand bushes and trees, install benches and organize bicycle parking. A modern public transport waiting pavilion will also appear here and grounds for ground routes will be equipped. All this will create a full-fledged public area where city residents will be able to relax, use bicycles and have a rest.

In addition, new sections of roads for traffic and pedestrians will appear within the framework of the project. In particular, Lisitsky Street will be virtually reconstructed.

Earlier, Sergei Sobyanin told how the city cares about nature during the construction of the metro.

The Troitskaya metro line will run from the ZIL station of the Moscow Central Circle to the city of Troitsk and will become one of the longest radii of the Moscow metro and the largest outside the Moscow Ring Road.
