Shanghai - Zhejiang Road Bridge - a photo on Flickriver

In the fog...
Zhejiang Road Bridge (浙江路桥) leads from Shanghai's Huangpu District into Zhabei District, crossing Suzhou Creek. Zhejiang Road Bridge is another veteran bridge, of similar age as the way more famous Garden Bridge.

This type of bridge is called a "Lenticular Truss Bridge" and that type of truss is rather rare.

Completed in 1908 with a single track tram line. It replaced a wooden bridge that was in this place since 1880. In 1924 double tram tracks were laid over the bridge. It underwent strengthening in 1965 and again in 1974 with removing the tram tracks and adding sidewalks for pedestrians. Additional overhauls in 1986 and 2008. Before the 2008 overhaul it was so deteriorated, the locals used to call it 垃圾桥 (Laji Qiao = "Garbage Bridge")

Finally, in 2015 the bridge truss was taken onto land nearby and completely rebuild.
