The second Shushan ship lock entered trial operation, enabling two locks to operate in parallel with traffic in both directions.
Translated paragraph context
The Shushan Hub of the Yangtze-to-Huaihe Water Diversion Project has reached a new milestone: its key navigation facility, the second Shushan ship lock, has begun trial operation, enabling the new and original locks to operate “in parallel, with two-way passage.” This marks an improvement in the quality and capacity of the navigation hubs along the Jianghuai Canal. As the Yangtze-to-Huaihe Water Diversion Project progresses, the Jianghuai Canal has connected with the Shaying River upstream and the Wuhu-Shanghai Canal downstream, among other waterways. It has already become China's second major north-south water transport corridor, shortening north-south voyages for bulk cargo by 200–600 kilometers.Original Chinese quote
