Construction cranes line the main dam of the Three Gorges Dam Project on the Yangtze River in Yichang, China's Hubei province, August 29, 2002. The project, which aims to control the country's mighty Yangtze River and tame annual floods, is thought to have cost more than any other single construction project in China's history, with unofficial estimates as high as $75 billion or more.
