REDUCE GROUND VIBRATIONHowever, in the brief by China Road Bridge Corporation, the contractors are confident the bridge will not affect wildlife in the park, the only one in the world located in the middle of a city. “The park will remain undivided and clearance under the bridge is considered adequate for the smooth flow of wildlife and tourist traffic,” the brief says. The average height of the bridge will be 18 metres, starting from eight metres at the northern entrance becoming 41 metres at the southern exit, it says. ‘The bridge pillar foundations will be dug deep to reduce ground vibration and the pillars will be at least 32 meters apart for unrestricted movement of wildlife,” the brief says.
