The 28th and longest bridge over Shanghai's Suzhou Creek will be in use by the end of this year and work is set to start on two further bridges, according to city engineers. The 735m-long Gubei Road Bridge will have a 70m-long arch at its focus. It is intended to boost north-south traffic, as the city is currently better served by east-west arteries. There are plans to start work this year on two further bridges over Suzhou Creek - the Zhenping Road Bridge and the Qilianshan Road Bridge.
