Recently, the deserted and miserable scene of the Humen Bridge in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province has attracted people's attention. The Humen Bridge was once the pride of Humen Town, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, and is also one of the masterpieces of modern bridge engineering in China. As an important transportation hub connecting the Pearl River Delta and Dongguan, the hot scene of the Humen Bridge has been coveted by countless people. However, in recent years, the busy atmosphere of the Humen Bridge has faded away, with sparse traffic, shops closed, and the once lively scene has been overshadowed by the passage of time.
The reason why the Humen Bridge has become deserted and miserable is that with the rapid development of the Pearl River Delta Economic Zone, a number of new traffic projects have emerged one after another. The emergence of these new bridges has given riders more options, spreading out the traffic that would otherwise be concentrated on the Humen Bridge, causing the pressure on the bridge to plummet. Once an important passage to Hong Kong, the Humen Bridge was a huge source of income for traders and goods passing through the customs station every day. However, the new highway network and the competition of multiple bridges have weakened the unique advantages of the Humen Bridge, making it seem somewhat useless at first.
Secondly, with the adjustment of the economic structure of Dongguan City, the industrial layout of Humen Town has also changed. In the past, the Humen Bridge became a commercial center due to its geographical advantages, but with the development of globalization and informatization, the focus of commercial activities has also begun to shift to the online platform. As a result, the commercial prosperity of the Humen Bridge gradually declined.
Finally, the development of modern technology has greatly increased the cost of bridge maintenance for the Humen Bridge. It has been more than 40 years since the Humen Bridge was built in 1976, and the aging and maintenance costs of the bridge have become a huge burden. **Only measures to restrict traffic and increase tolls can be taken to maintain the normal operation of the bridge, which makes the Humen Bridge less suitable for riders.
However, the desertion and misery of the Humen Bridge does not mean its end, it still carries the memory of history and the hard work of the predecessors. It is a witness of the times and a symbol of Dongguan's economic progress and changes. Although it is no longer the only source of economic development, we cannot ignore its once glorious history.
The desertion and misery of the Humen Bridge may only be a short-lived process, and the real prosperity will be left to future generations to write. With the progress of science and technology and the economic prosperity of Dongguan City, new records and new bridges may be born in the future, which will carry people's vision and expectation for the future.
Although the influence of the Humen Bridge has diminished, we should see from it the continuous development and determination to change. The vicissitudes of history are immutable facts, and the memories and meanings carried by the Humen Bridge will be passed on forever.
Let us look forward to the future of the Humen Bridge, and look forward to a more beautiful and prosperous picture of Dongguan. Do you think the Humen Bridge will be revitalized in the future?Will more bridges emerge in urban development?Welcome to leave a message to discuss!
