Yangtze bridge stands the test of time

Nanjing structure has special meaning for Chinese

In the more than three months since it reopened to the public after repairs, more than 70,000 vehicles a day on average have crossed the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge in Jiangsu province.

The number of vehicles traversing the bridge, which reopened in December, is just half that for each of the other three structures spanning the river in Nanjing, while Line 3 of the city's subway system carries more than 800,000 people across the river every day.
