Bridging mighty gap

A SUSPENSION bridge with a main span of 1,386 meters is set to traverse the Jinshajiang River in southwest China鈥檚 Yunnan Province.

The Jin鈥檃n Jinshajiang Bridge is part of a highway being built to connect Huaping County with Lijiang. Two ropes have been hoisted by boats to connect two towers on both sides of the river bank. After connecting the two towers, builders will start putting up cables and main structures, said Zhang Ping, deputy manager of the bridge project. The bridge will be about 335 meters above the water鈥檚 surface. The six hours previously needed to drive between Lijiang and Panzhihua in Sichuan Province will be cut down to two.
