On November 28 Lanlugang Bridge, the biggest bridge on the western section of the Huqingping Highway, saw the successful joining of its main span.
The 34-meter-wide Bridge carries six lanes, three in each direction, and is designed to allow cars to pass over it at 120 kph.  Its main arch spans 102 meters of the 1,540-meter-long bridge over the river below.
The bridge, one of the city's key projects for this year, has been under construction since last July and was expected to open to traffic by the end of this year.
"The completion of this Bridge will facilitate the construction of the western section of Huqingping Highway, which is set to open to traffic by May 2006", said a government spokesman.
