The origin of the name of Anshan Hongqiao Bridge

At that time, as the first large-scale overpass bridge in the urban area, the completion of Hongqiao was one of the major events in Anshan. Prior to this, there was no such bridge in Anshan that could rival Hongqiao, and giving this bridge a good name is also one of the topics that everyone cares about. After discussion by relevant departments, it was decided to collect the name of the bridge from the general public through newspapers and other media, and give the naming right to the public. Collecting the name of the bridge from the public was unprecedented in Anshan before.

At that time, the solicitation activities were particularly popular, and nearly a thousand names were collected. After layers of selection and public opinion surveys, the bridge finally has a resounding name-Hongqiao: the bridge is parabolic, like a rainbow, which also symbolizes the vitality and vigor of China New Anshan. At that time, the opening ceremony was cut by Comrade Han, then secretary of the municipal party committee, and tens of thousands of people attended the ceremony that day.
