Why did he come?
Construction started when Zhongshan Road was widened.
Jiujiu Tianqiao is located in the most prosperous area of Ningbo city, at the intersection of Zhongshan Road, the east-west main road of Ningbo, and Jiefang Road, the north-south main road, with Sunshine Plaza and Ningbo Municipal Government in the east and Drum Tower in the west.
1994, 43-year-old Wang Suihai went to work in the engineering department of Ningbo Urban Construction and Development Corporation. "At that time, Yaoxing Street in Ningbo was being rebuilt. In the second year, Zhongshan Road began to be widened and rebuilt. The long-term overpass was built at that time. "
The construction unit of Jiujiu Tianqiao is Ningbo Urban Construction and Development Corporation, and the engineering department where Wang Suihai is located is responsible for the specific work.
At that time, Wang Suihai went to the construction site almost every day to check the progress of the project. "In fact, in 1995, the traffic in Ningbo was not very crowded, and there was no need to build such a pedestrian bridge. The reason why the overpass was built for a long time was an advanced plan of the municipal government at that time. " Wang Suihai said that according to the plan, Ningbo will build eight footbridges at major intersections, including the South Station footbridge and 200 footbridges that have been demolished, and the long footbridge that will be demolished soon. Later, for various reasons, Ningbo built these three overpasses.
How did he get his name?
Named by the ticketing company
"At that time, the decision-makers in Ningbo still had an idea, that is,' people in people's cities are all built', so they immediately found a named enterprise after the overpass was built. Jiujiu Tianqiao was named by a ticketing company called Jiujiu, and the 200 Tianqiao at the East Gate and the Nanzhan Tianqiao at the South Station were also named by enterprises. "
Speaking of long overpasses, Wang Suihai seems to have endless words. In his memory, for a long time, the company specialized in selling air tickets from Ningbo to Wenzhou. At that time, this enterprise located in Yinxian (now Yinzhou District) paid 6.8 million yuan to buy the naming right of Tianqiao for 25 years.
Sadly, however, in the late 1990s, the company closed down for a long time for various reasons, and there were still more than 20 years before the naming rights expired.
A company that has been closed for 10 years has been repeatedly mentioned by the public because of the existence of this overpass.
Wang Suihai said: "In the early years, the word' for a long time' could still be seen on the forehead of the bridge, but now it has been replaced by several billboards."
What is so special about him?
Modeling and scale are rare in China.
A few years later, Ningbo Urban Construction and Development Corporation was divided into several units, and Wang Suihai came to Ningbo Municipal Pre-office. "I now go to work every day through a long overpass. After learning that it will be demolished, I will say goodbye to it almost every day. "
It can be said that in Wang Suihai's eyes, Tianqiao was like his own son for a long time and knew "him" like the back of his hand. "The deck of Jiujiu Tianqiao is X-shaped, with a total length of 158 meters and a deck width of 5 meters. It is the only footbridge in the center of Ningbo. " These data can be simply recited by Wang Suihai. What makes him even more proud is that the completed Jiujiu Tianqiao has become one of the landmark buildings in Ningbo.
Wang Suihai said that the Jiujiu overpass is different from ordinary overpasses. Generally, the overpass is basically located between the two ends of the same road. People went up the stairs and crossed the bridge to the other side of the road. However, the 99 overpass was built at the crossroads, the X-shaped four-terminal board was four blocks away, and the X-shaped intersection was the center of the intersection. Citizens can go to any intersection after boarding the overpass and passing through the center. It's just that this crossing takes longer than ordinary overpasses. The shape and scale of this overpass are rare in China.
What's more, this bridge was built in 1995. "In a sense, this also shows the advanced consciousness and broad mind of Ningbo people."
How hard was it for him to be born?
The most difficult thing is transportation and installation.
Wang Shanbo, general manager of Ningbo Municipal Engineering Construction Group Co., Ltd., is not calm these days. 1995 as project leader of Zhongshan Road widening and reconstruction project (including Jiujiu overpass). Yesterday, he told reporters on the phone that it was very difficult for Ningbo to build a long-term overpass. "It can be said that there were few such steel structures in China."
Among them, the most difficult is the transportation and installation of steel bars. Wang Shanbo said that these steels were all ordered from a company in Nantong, Jiangsu. In order to transport the steel back to Ningbo, they used several extended cars. "At that time, there was no expressway from Ningbo to Hangzhou, and it took a long time to transport it to Ningbo." Upon their arrival, steel bars were welded and installed immediately. Because it is an integral hoisting, a little carelessness will give up all previous efforts. Fortunately, the installation was completed quickly.
Wang Shanbo said that he would also visit Tianqiao when he returned to Ningbo. After all, there is no chance in the future.
