The first tunnel under the Yangtze River was completed Saturday near the Yangtze River Bridge in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province.

The 1,992-meter tunnel will hold a gas pipeline running from China's natural gas-rich western regions to the Yangtze River Delta.

With a diameter of 3.8 meters, the tunnel was begun on Nov. 26,2001 as part of the 4,000-kilometer pipeline, due to be completed next year, taking gas to Shanghai, China's biggest industrial center.
