Overhaul to be done to oldest bridge on Yangtze river
|
20-Aug-2002 - |
From August 10 to September 20, an overhaul is to be done to the Yangtze River's oldest bridge, the first since the bridge opened in Wuhan in 1957. Every day an average of nearly 100,000 automobiles pass over the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, which is in the capital city of central China's Hubei province. Water has eroded and rusted the bridge's steel structure and the asphalted floor surface is ageing with ruins, affecting the smooth running of automobiles on the bridge, according to local sources. Major repairs has never been done to sidewalks along the both sides of the bridge. According to local sources, the 3.6-km long bridge floor section including the 1.1-km long entrance to the bridge are to be overhauled. Top-quality asphalt will be used for the roadway and slip-resistant rubber for the sidewalks. Lights and electrical carrails on the bridge will also be replaced. The overhaul project will cost approximately 10 million yuan (1.2 million US dollars) and traffic control is to be maintained during the facelift. |
