This afternoon I walked from the AdTech conference to the SuperBrand Mall for a quick lunch, when I noticed the construction of the elevated walkways (see here for an earlier blog post about the walkways). The construction probably already started a couple of months ago, but I hardly ever go to Pudong, let alone walk around there, so I did not see the structure before.

Getting around on foot in the Pudong Lujiazui area is difficult and dangerous (because of the traffic), so these walkways will be a big plus for people working here or for hotel guests at the Park Hyatt and the Grand Hyatt in China’s two tallest skyscrapers. The elevated walkways should be finished next year, well on time for the Expo 2010.
