The main construction contents were included dredging projects by using silt curtains and dredger, bank protection projects, buoy engineering, bridge anti-collision projects and supporting projects. At present, the relevant departments of Linquan County are making joint efforts to promote the construction of the project. It is expected that by the end of October, temporary land selection and compensation will be completed for the project's temporary dumping of mud, spoil areas, etc.
 
    The relevant person from Linquan County introduced, after completion of the Anhui section waterway regulation project in the Fenquan River, the navigation waterway class will be upgraded in two levels. The navigable vessels will be upgraded from the current 300 to 1,000 tons, and the ship passage rate and turnover volume of the fairway will also be increased. It will play an active role in improving the Fuyang water network, water transport capacity, and assisting local economic and social development.
