Henan Road Bridge

The Henan Road Bridge on the Suzhou River in Shanghai was first a wooden bridge, built in 1875, called the Three Ferry Bridge. In the 16th year of the Republic of China (1927), the log bridge was converted into a 64-meter long concrete cantilever hanging hole bridge, and named the Henan Road Bridge. The most recent reconstruction opened in 2009, with the bridge being expanded from four lanes to six lanes, and the bridge is a 111-meter long five-hole arched continuous beam bridge.

Suzhou River is the mother river of Shanghai. The Suzhou River in the past is very stinky. Today, after the management, the Suzhou River is very beautiful. It is a very pleasant thing to walk along the Suzhou River. There are many bridges of different styles on the Suzhou River. Henan Road Bridge is one of them. Follow the European-style bridge to Nanjing Road.

I met a cute and cute stone carving Xiaoshami at the intersection of Henan and Nanbei Road in Shanghai. It seems that I have not seen the small shami stone carving in other streets and alleys in Shanghai. I don't know what allusions are here. Later, I consulted the information and learned that there was a temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the In the Song Dynasty, the sea transportation was developed, and the ships entered the port and went to sea. The crew of Guangdong and Yuan had the custom of worshiping Mazu (Mazu was the Songdu patrolling Lin wishing the sixth female Moniang, legendary after death, to become a god), and prayed for peace at sea. At that time, Fujian merchants built Shunji Temple on the riverside of the 16th Pub to worship Mazu. The Qing Dynasty was renamed the Tianhou Palace, which was repeatedly built and destroyed. In June of the decade of Qing Guangxu, the new Tianhou Palace was relocated and rebuilt. The entrance is the square, and there is a stage in the middle. The square is on both sides of the square. The back entrance of the stage is the Grand Hall and the bedroom palace. The Grand Hall is the top of the Jiujixie Mountain. The temple is high and the carved beams are painted. After the reconstruction of the Tianhou Palace, the incense was full. But by the end of Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the people, it gradually declined.

In 1925, it was converted into the current reinforced concrete balanced winged suspension bridge, which is64.5 meters long, 18 meters wide, has 3 holes and has a load of 15 tons. Because there is a Tianhou Palace under the bridge, it is also known as the "Tianhou Palace Bridge".
