Tian’anmen bridges under repair for 60th National Day
Repair to the Golden Water Bridges in front of Tian’anmen, or the Gate of Heavenly Peace facing Tian’anmen Square in the south, began Wednesday, less than eight months ahead of the 60th founding anniversary of the People’s Republic of China.
The repair work is scheduled to be completed before May 1 and then the bridges will open to visitors, according to the management committee in the Tian’anmen area.
The repair is made in accordance with a plan approved by the Beijing Municipal Administration of Cultural Heritage on Nov. 6, 2008.
A public bidding posted on the administration’s website said the total budget for the renovation project is 946,400 yuan (about 139,000 U.S. dollars).
