立交桥,济南的新风采

Overpasses, the New Look of Jinan

很多济南人对桥都有一种特殊感情。因为进出老城，需要横跨一座座桥梁，上来、下去，桥成为生活的一部分。后来，随着经济的快速发展，城市大了，汽车多了，奔流不息的车流带着人们走向更远的地方。原来的那些老石桥已经“力不从心”，亟需更现代、承载力更强的桥。于是，四通八达的高架桥、立交桥架起来了，它们虽不如石桥雅致、风韵，但更新颖、更优美、更壮观、更恢宏，在现代都市中不可或缺。

Many residents of Jinan have an emotional attachment to bridges. For anyone who traveled to and from the downtown area, bridges were the way which must be passed and eventually becanae an essential part of life.
