A mixture of garbage including plastic bags and foam used to fill part of a major bridge over Shanghai's Suzhou Creek spills out of cracks on Monday. Large chunks of concrete have fallen off one of the piers of the Henan Road Bridge, one of the busiest across the Suzhou Creek, opening up a crack about 4 m in length. The bridge was renovated less than a year ago. The Shanghai Urban Construction and Communications Committee, which oversees the city's construction quality, said that the structure of the bridge is safe and there are no potential safety hazards.[Chinanews.com.cn]
