Excerpt from Wikipedia
The Orange Isle Bridge (Chinese: 橘子洲大桥) is an arch bridge over the Xiang River in Changsha, Hunan, China. It connects Yuelu District and Furong District.
History
In May 1971, the former Ministry of Communications approved the Changsha Municipal People's Government to build a bridge between Yuelu District and Furong District. On September 6, the construction of Orange Isle Bridge was started, at that time it was called "Changsha Xiang River Bridge" (长沙湘江大桥).
In March 1972, the construction team built 18 piers of the bridge. On September 30 of the same year, the bridge was completed and opened to traffic.
In January 2006, it was renamed "Orange Isle Bridge".
