SHANGHAI will build a bridge across Huangpu River between Minhang and Fengxian districts, the city’s major bridge construction company said yesterday.

The 1.94-kilometer-long Kunyang Road Cross-River Bridge will connect Kunyang Road in Minhang and Puwei Highway in Fengxian with downtown.

Upon its completion, residents in the two outlying districts will be able to reach Hongqiao and Pudong international airports directly, according to the Shanghai Road and Bridge Group.
