The Bund Tunnel, Shanghai, China

From 2008, a major reconfiguration traffic flow along the Bund was carried out. The first stage the plan involved the southern end the Bund, and saw the demolition a section the Yan'an Road elevated expressway, which will remove the large elevated expressway exit structure which formerly dominated the confluence Yan'an Road and the Bund. The second stage, begun on 1 March 2008, involves the complete restoration the century-old Waibaidu Bridge at the northern end the Bund. The restoration is expected to be completed by early 2009. The next stage the plan involves a reconstruction the Bund roadway. The current 8-lane roadway will be rebuilt as in two levels, with four lanes on each level. This will allow part the Bund road space to be restored to its former use as parkland and marginal lawns. The new concrete bridge that was built in 1991 to relieve traffic on Waibaidu Bridge will also be rendered obsolete by the new double-levelled roadway, and will be demolished.
The Bund was re-opened to the public on Sunday 28 March 2010 after restoration.
The Bund stretches one mile along the bank the Huangpu River. Traditionally, the Bund begins at Yan'an Road (formerly Edward VII Avenue) in the south and ends at Waibaidu Bridge (formerly Garden Bridge) in the north, which crosses Suzhou Creek.
