This 1.77 km prestressed concrete bridge over the Xi-JiangRiver some 60 km southwest of Guangzhou has four highway lanes and two pedestrian footpaths and was constructed in record time (18 months, or 6 months ahead of schedule). Built in the mid-1980s, its structure and construction method represented the current state-of-the-art in modern bridge technologies. The bridge is one of the more exemplary structural engineering feats in China.
