On May 16th, the Xingning Bridge across the Yangxi river was officially put into use. It will also provide a unique landscape for the ancient city of Ninghai. The Xingning Bridge as well as its extension in the south is a key construction project in Ninghai county. It started in early 2017 and was completed in early May this year. Taking archaic bridges as archetype, the bridge is constructed with an ancient flavor, creating an atmosphere of cheerfulness. The Xingning Bridge, together with its extension in the south is 802.9 meters long, of which the bridge is 150 meters long and 36.8 meters wide. The bridge is set up with two-way lanes, sided by 5.2- meter pedestrian roads and 3.5 meter non-motorized lanes. It is reported that there are five bridge slabs, each spanning 30 meters.
