[Bridge Park]
Members Guest: Now, we came to the Bridge Park. Here we can clearly see the river ************ 10 piers, of which nine bridge opening, the hole is 35 meters high. Do not know if you have not found a river above the surface of the central bridge piling. This bridge is the bridge was first built the pile, presided over by the Soviet experts and lay the first bridge piles. At that moment, Sino-Soviet relations deteriorated, the unilateral withdrawal of all Soviet experts, and construction drawings. In this harsh environment, the Chinese bridge builders make every effort to give full play to their wisdom, their own research, design, and built a bridge.
Some may ask, before the construction of the bridge, is how to solve the north-south traffic from? Before, to the south of the north shore of Shimonoseki Pukou, communication has always been an important north-south ferry. June 1, 1929, Sun Yat-sen's coffin is Pukou pier across the river from the next. Off the landing pier. In 1938, Chinese imperialism in order to plunder the wealth of the next two off and Pukou built the bridge, the ferry with two 900-horsepower, delivery wagon train across the river. After liberation, the people's government to ease the pressure on this route, increased three ferry. However, due to natural conditions, and the slow pace of the river, not adapt to social development and national construction. Bridge opened to traffic, the railway bridge off the train every day or vice versa up to more than 100 columns, each train through the "moat" just a few minutes,Yangtze Cruise Deals freight trains shorten transit time than in the past more than three hours. Today, with the accelerated pace of modernization, the pressure to bridge the transportation point of overload, bridge opening for the passage of large cargo capacity seems inadequate. To meet the transportation needs of the development in the near future, in the east of the bridge, will be the rainbow flying - Construction of Second Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge.
You Guest: Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, I will introduce here. Moment, we will take the elevator to board a bridgehead, I believe you to be sure there will be more emotion.
