AN old bridge that reopened to traffic on June 5 after an overhaul showed cracks again and officials in Wuzhou City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region said the problem wouldn't affect the safety of travel.
The 40-year-old Guijiang No. 1 Bridge is now partially closed as workers are laying asphalt over cracked road surface, the Beijing Morning Post reported today.
A manager surnamed He of the company that contracted the repair work blamed the cracks on a substandard high-strength concrete.
"We completed the work in a very short time as the city government ordered us to finish it ahead of schedule," he said.
But the Wuzhou Municipal Works Bureau Director Liang Bing said the bridge had no safety problems. "Our priority is to ensure it reopen as early as possible, although the quality of its overhaul is less satisfactory."
