| Zhaozhou Bridge also named as Anji Brige, it is the world`s oldest open-spandrel stone segmental arch bridge. Credited to the design of a craftsman named Li Chun, the bridge was constructed in the years 595-605 during the Sui Dynasty 581ââ¬â618. Located in the southern part of Hebei Province, it is the oldest standing bridge in China. In the next 1400 years after its construction, the bridge survived at least eight wars, ten major floods and numerous earthquakes, the most recent being the 7.2-magnitude Xingtai Earthquake in 1966. Yet, the support structure remains intact and the bridge is still in use. Only the ornamental railings have been replaced every few hundred years. |
