Chongqing bridge opens to traffic

The first phase of the Yuao Bridge project over the Jialing River in Chongqing was opened in January. Funded by investors from Macau and Chongqing, the 4km bridge will cost about Yn800m to construct. It is expected to ease traffic jams in the municipality. The second phase of the project, including a tunnel and two flyovers, is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2003.
