- The food-over bridge connects the flower garden on the western-end of the riverfront and the upcoming arts and culture centre on the eastern-end.

- Apart from pedestrians, cyclists can also use this bridge to cross the river while avoiding traffic.

- It will allow people to view the riverfront from the middle of the waterbody.

- The bridge is designed in such a way that people can approach it from both the lower and upper walkways, or promenades of the riverfront.

Why does a PM needs to inaugurate a bridge? This is "just" 300m long bridge, not some world record bridge of something. Doesn't he have something more important to do instead?

Because he will get some camera time to make some more people ch@tiya.

Uhh whataboutism? Remember the Florida bridge collapse that killed a couple? Yeah it also happened a few years ago.

I'm only looking at 2022 incidents and oh boy, India is a real concern right here.

Uhh whataboutism? Remember the Florida bridge collapse that killed a couple? Yeah it also happened in the past.

Fact is, India is the one that is the real concern based on recent collapses

Tofu dreg aficionados worried about bridge collapse in Florida but not the Chinese who get squished like ants in China routinely!

Oh just one isolated incident that everyone in China got angry about. I challenge you to show me more.

In fact there were a few million Chinese who were angry who didn't die because of the central government's COVID response and improvement in building safety over the years.

Whereas there are a few million Indian keyboard warriors no longer alive because of COVID... Pity them...

One isolated incident versus a trend, my friend.

Anyway why am I speaking in the colonizer's language? I should get back to speaking Chinese.

That's one incident I cited that broke the Great Wall barrier, Chinese construction fails are as (in)famous as the Chinese themselves.

The ones who believe that the yellow sub humans are immune to Covid thanks to their vaccines that are worse than saline water, include low IQ wumaos who learnt English so that they can afford to eat plastic rice fried in gutter oil every morning.

Expecting the Chongs to disclose the correct number of their dead is like expecting sun to rise from the west, till today they've not been able to confirm the number of dead in the Great leap!
