Shanghai - Wuning Road Bridge

Wuning Road Bridge (武宁路桥) in Shanghai's Putuo District was built in 1956. First alterations happened in 1966.

 

The current state of the bridge is the result of a massive reconstruction, finished July 1st 2009. During this project the bridge was widened from 24.5m to 39m to fix a traffic "bottleneck". Also the 4 massive columns (each 27m tall) with the gilded figures on top were added. The bridge features 3 spans of 28m, 47m (accross the river) and 28m respectively; the width of the bridge is 39m.

 

The image is result of some PP, because the lights on the columns are way too bright. Merged from 2 exposures, 4EV exposure difference. EXIF data is from the "bright" shot. View large on a black background.
