30/6/2003 15:10


A 5.8-meter wide, 2.6-meter high arch memorial was erected yesterday to mark the completion of the world's longest arch bridge, the Lupu Bridge.

The memorial, located at the center of the greenland by the western side of the bridge, is made of white marble and shaped like an arch to resemble the bridge itself.

The inscription on the front notes the significance of constructing the bridge in Shanghai, its architectural contribution to the world and the feats of the workers who constructed it.
