Shanghai's renowned Waibaidu Bridge is expected to return to its original
site in February.
The bridge, which spanned the Suzhou Creek along the
northern Bund, was removed for repairs and to make way for major infrastructure
work. Experts said restoration of the bridge's roadway and its main support
piers will be finished by the end of this year. The bridge should be shipped by
barge back to its original spot early next year. The bridge was built in 1907
and is one of the city's top heritage landmarks.
