耗资23亿的西北豆腐渣工程被停

据新华网报道在中国西北部吉林省投资23亿元（360万美元）的铁路建设工程最近被暂停了。

据称，这项工程项目被转包给了由“一点都不懂铁路建设”的劳工经营的假公司。本应由混凝土打造的桥墩，被他们用碎石制成，还是在工程监理的监管下制造的，这造成了很大的安全隐患。

Construction on a railway with an investment of 2.3 billion yuan ($36 million) in Northeast China’s Jilin province has been suspended recently, Xinhua reported.

The construction was allegedly subcontracted to a “fake” company run by labor workers who “know nothing about railway construction”. The bridge piers which should have been made with concrete were instead allegedly made with rubble under the supervision of engineering project supervisors, creating a great security risk.

An investigation team has been formed by China Railway No 9 Group Co Ltd to probe the matter, according to its official, Zhao Tiejun.

The 74.1 kilometers long railway, which is located in Jingyu county and Songjiang county in Jilin province, was approved by the Ministry of Railways in 2009 and was undertaken by Shenyang Railway Bureau.
