"Spider men" work for power transmission project in Chongqing (8)

Aerial photo taken on Dec. 5, 2021 shows utility technicians working at the construction site of the Chongqing section of the "Baihetan-Jiangsu" ultra-high-voltage (UHV) power transmission project over the Yangtze River in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality. At a height of about 100 meters over the Yangtze River, a team of utility technicians worked six hours incessantly every day like "spider men", regardless of the winter coldness. The work of the "spider men" is part of the "Baihetan-Jiangsu" ultra-high-voltage (UHV) power transmission project. The 800-kilovolt, direct-current transmission project is celebrated as one of China's "power highways" and is an important part of the country's west-to-east power transmission program.
