From 12am today, the Luzhou Bridge over the Yangtze River in southwest China's Sichuan Province is closed for repair and all vehicles are diverted to other bridges.
The bridge, a main artery connecting Luzhou, a city famous for liquor production, and other parts of Sichuan, showed cracks in one pillar and big vehicles have been banned from going on to the bridge since yesterday.
Heavy flow of traffic for years has taken a toll on the bridge and caused the pillars to crack, said Huang Lingyun, a road official in charge of the bridge.
The province's road and bridge experts have been sent to the bridge to analyze the risks. The city may build a temporary iron bridge to divert traffic if needed.
Heavy vehicles are advised to travel by Lanxi Road and Tai'an Yangtze Bridge to enter Luzhou City, and small vehicles can take Lanxi Road and Guojiao Yangtze Bridge to enter the city.
In another report, cracks were found on a Yangtze River bridge in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province. Local police began diverting vehicles weighing more than 20 tons to other routes starting November 11.
