Lion Forest Bridge

　　   The lions on the bridge are all uniquely shaped, lively and vivid, in both black and white, and are very adorable.

　　   Lion Forest Bridge was one of the first bridges in China’s highway construction to use the prestressed concrete cantilever technique. It features a variety of lifelike lions. The bridge is 96.6 meters long, with spans of 24+45+24 (m), and is composed of a single cantilever beam and 8-meter-long suspended beams; the bridge is 2×3+18 (m) wide. In 1994, a new bridge was built on each side upstream and downstream of the old bridge, each 9.3 meters wide, with a three-span variable-depth prestressed concrete box continuous girder structure and spans of 25.2m+45m+25.2m. In August 2003, the Urban Construction Group successfully lifted the entire bridge structure by 1.271 meters, resulting in the Lion Forest Bridge as it stands today.
