Sichuan China's Bridges: Xin Nanmen Bridge across the Jin River (2)

July 2008 (30.648 Degrees, 104.073 Degrees) Xin Nanmen Bridge

A view from the deck of the Xin Nanmen Bridge. The sidewalk is really high, which may be to protect pedestrians from errant vehicles. I would assume it's hollow as otherwise it would be a large dead load for the bridge to carry. I also wonder what are the decorative structures near the stairs? They resemble restroom facilities, which would be unusual for a bridge.
