China’s Impressive ‘River Highway’ Lets Motorists Drive Through the Middle of a River
Original article on OddityCentral.com – a blog on oddities and wacky news http://www.odditycentral.com/
A mountainous river valley in China’s Hubei province is home to one of the Asian country’s most impressive pieces of infrastructure – a highway bridge that runs through the middle of a river.
Finalized in 2015, China’s ‘river highway’ is widely regarded as an infrastructural wonder. Designed to link the town of Gufuzhen in Xingshan county to the main highway running between Shanghai and Chengdu in southwestern China, this unique suspended highway doesn’t make much sense at first glance. Why have a massive bridge built in the middle of the Xiangxi River, when you could just have it run alongside it, on land? In fact, there was already a road running along the river, which meant it could obviously be done, so why not build the highway that way? Well, apparently, Chinese engineers decided that a suspended highway running along the middle of the river was not only cheaper to build, but more efficient.
