| "quote"Hi from the US You mentioned in a previous blog that the bridge was open between Shanghai and Ningbo. I have a partner going to Ningbo next week and she was told the bridge will not open until the end of April and will have to drive the long way"quote" correct, the bridge has not been officially opened as yet. there has been a special private drive over of the bridge for special invitees, however it is not open to public vehicles yet. therefore your friend will need to take the longer expressway route, or the G320 & G329. as a person who lives in Ningbo, i am somewhat happy that the bridge will open and make the somewhat long tedious journey shorter, but i am also dismayed that once again motorbikes will be banned from using the bridge as they are from using china's expressways. i have travelled by motorbike from ningbo - shanghai so many times and while i often take many alternative routes, to make my journeys more interesting, the suicidal demeanour of many chinese people whether they be pedistrians or vehicle drivers/riders pushes my patience no end at times. the sooner the traffic section of the PSB actually does "its" job and enforces the letter of the law the bloody better!!! but i don't hold out much hope that, such a dichotomy of priority shifts will ever happen any time soon!!! -every day in china is a challenge. :P |
