A bridge spanning the Yellow River was completed and opened to traffic in Jinan, capital of east China's Shandong Province, Sunday.
This new bridge and a section of the Qingdao-Yinchuan expressway in Jinan are nearly 63 km in length. Total investments are estimated at nearly 4.2 billion yuan (about 618 million U.S.dollars), according to the Shandong Hi-Speed Group Co., Ltd., the investor of the project.
They constitute parts of an expressway connecting Qingdao, a port city in Shandong, and Yinchuan, capital of northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.
