Unveiled in Lujiazui, the Pudong district of Shanghai there is a new very large, circular pedestrian bridge and overpass, which allows people to avoid the roundabout traffic of Lujiazui Road. The Oriental Pearl Tower can also be accessed from this bridge to connect people to cafes, shopping malls, office buildings and a transit station. Built nearly 20 feet above the street, the pedestrian bridge has many escalators and stairways for entrances and exits and because of the contemporary design, the long spans between each column allows people on the street level to have a pleasant viewing experience.
Not only does the bridge provide a beautiful access walkway, it also provides amazing views of the city. To make it even more inviting, the bridge is illuminated at night and provides a very dramatic effect. The height of the walkway is 5.5 meters and it is wide enough to allow up to 15 people to walk side by side. From the time it was first opened, it became quite the tourist attraction.
