What's the name of Aojiang Ounan Bridge?

There are some details about the back of the bridge that need to be supplemented. The history of the proposed bridge can be traced back to the 1980s. 1984 After the town was built, Longgang began to develop rapidly in the south wing of Aojiang River. However, the gap between a water area has become the biggest bottleneck hindering economic development. In terms of transportation, there were neither national nor provincial roads in Longgang at that time, except for a narrow road leading to Lingxi, the county seat. In fact, Longgang is a closed town. So in the late 1980s, Longgang, which had begun to take shape, proposed to build a bridge over this river. The best plan is to go directly to the Austrian town center on the other side, and then connect with 104 national highway. The whole cost of building the bridge was borne by Cangnan county government, but the proud Aojiang people rejected this completely "unequal treaty". The reason was that the wealthy Aojiang people were worried about the rise of Longgang. They believe that the construction of the bridge will flow the existing advantages of the Aojiang River to the south of the Yangtze River, create opportunities for the development of Longgang, and thus pose a great threat to their status as a star city in the Aojiang River Basin. Therefore, the location of the bridge has to be decided in the present location of Yuan Xian Village, leading to Zangqian Town on the north bank, which is consistent with 104 National Road, which is now Longgang Bridge.

10 years later, with the further development of Longgang and the stagnation of Aojiang, the status of the two towns began to change, and Longgang has surpassed Aojiang in reputation and strength. With the further development of cross-strait economy, the integration and exchange of economy and life between the two towns has become an inevitable trend, and at this time, the voice of cross-strait bridge construction has begun to grow louder and louder.

This time, Aojiang Town offered to build a bridge between the two towns. 1992, the construction of the bridge officially appeared in administrative documents, and the two town governments began to work on the site selection and construction plan of the bridge. However, the practical problem of "marriage" between the two places is in front of us, and the construction of the bridge has also experienced repeated arguments, which can be described as twists and turns.

The first is the location of the bridge. The road bordering on the south was originally in Renmin Road, long gang zhen, but Aojiang in the north disagreed, because the area bordering on the north of the bridge is too far away from the main urban area of Aojiang, which is undeveloped land. The two sides defended the location and were deadlocked. The second is the dispute over the name of the bridge, which has been discussed above and will not be repeated here. These two problems were finally solved with the intervention of Wenzhou municipal government. The location of the bridge is Wen Wei Road in long gang zhen, and the Aojiang River is at the junction of the old and new cities. The name of this bridge is Ounan Bridge. Thirdly, after the site and name of the bridge are determined, the two sides have differences on the bridge structure. On the west side of the bridge, there are several thousand-ton wharves on the Aojiang River. However, due to other special reasons such as geographical location, the height of the bridge is limited, which will lead to the impassability of thousand-ton ships. Longgang government proposes to move all 1000-ton wharves to the east of the bridge, with each party contributing half. However, the Aojiang government rejected this plan for various reasons. Coupled with the construction cost and other reasons, the current bridge is such a nondescript open bridge type. It also has a title-the largest open bridge in Asia. In fact, this "biggest" is because the lifting bridge has long been eliminated and is not used in most countries at home and abroad, mainly because it has too many shortcomings. The main disadvantage is that after the main bridge is hoisted, passing vehicles and pedestrians are forced to be blocked. This has brought great inconvenience to traffic.

In fact, there are still many problems left by the bridge, such as the bridge deck is not wide enough, large and operating vehicles are prohibited from driving, and only small cars are allowed to drive, which has not played a decisive role in cross-strait economic integration. In addition, the demolition of Wen Wei Road has been shelved due to the high cost, and Wenweisheng Road has not been widened. Passing vehicles are often stuck here, which affects the traffic efficiency of this road and causes great inconvenience. If these problems and many disadvantages left by the bridge cannot be solved, it is conceivable that the bridge is likely to become an abandoned bridge from now on.

In a word, this bridge, which has been built for 15 years, embodies the inefficiency of administrative decision-making and the typical sense of small farmers. As a Longgang person, I feel sad for this bridge.
