Cross-river structures in Jiangsu aim to solve province's traffic woes

Some 30 structures, including bridges, subway and road tunnels, will span the Yangtze River in Jiangsu by 2025, according to the provincial Transport Bureau.

Lu Yongquan, director of the bureau, said the province has been researching the problem of traffic crossing the river for years. There are frequent traffic jams, especially during peak periods.

"But it will be much easier for the public by 2025, when the problem will basically be solved," Lu said.
