Construction on the 11,072-meter-long Hutong Yangtze River Bridge started in March 2014. As a joint project of the Shanghai-Nantong railway, the bridge has a design that allows dual-use, with rails on the lower layer and a highway on the top.

MADRID, Oct. 23 (Xinhua) -- There is no doubt which game is going to capture most of the attention in match day nine of the BBVA Primera Liga: the "Classico" between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, but that should not allow football fans to forget there are another nine games to be played in the Spanish top flight this weekend.


The Classico has all of the ingredients to live up to its billing with Cristiano Ronaldo, Leo Messi Nationals Matt Wieters Jersey , Neymar and possibly Gareth Bale going head to head and Luis Suarez poised to make his debut for Barcelona after completing his four-month suspension.


On top of that Messi needs one goal to equal and two goals to break Telmo Zarra's all-time scoring record in Spain, while Barca have so far kept eight clean sheets in the competition.


A win for Luis Enrique's side in "enemy territory" would move Barca seven points clear of Real Madrid, while a win for Madrid would lift them to within one point of Barca.


Both sides are in fantastic form and it promises to be one of the most entertaining and decisive matches of the campaign.


However, there is plenty of other action in the Liga, starting on Friday night when Lucas Alcaraz makes his debut as Levante coach in a difficult away trip to face Celta Vigo. Alcaraz needs to install some defensive discipline into a side which has so far looked relegation fodder.


Athletic Club Bilbao have also had a surprisingly bad start to the campaign, although their form has improved slightly since the international break. Coach Ernesto Valverde needs to see that improvement turn into points away to Almeria on Saturday afternoon.


The final whistle will have just blown on the Classico when Valencia kick off their match at home to Elche, another relegation candidate.


Valencia suffered a shock 3-0 defeat away to Deportivo la Coruna a week ago which saw them slip down to fourth in the table Nationals Matt Adams Jersey , but strikers Paco Alcarez and Rodrigo will be hoping to find their shooting boots and close the gap on the top three.
