Reconstruction of the Tuoding Bridge over the Jinsha River section in Diqing is expected to end on January 26, with traffic over the bridge to be resumed on January 30.

The bridge was seriously damaged and traffic was interrupted two months ago due to flood discharged from an upstream barrier lake.

Relevant departments in Deqin County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, kicked off the rebuilding works shortly after the flood.

Currently, ferries are used to carry a daily average of 800 people, 100 vehicles and other goods across the Jinsha River.
