Core Viewpoint - The Beijing transportation department is implementing a comprehensive strategy to enhance the under-bridge spaces across the city, with 14 key bridge improvement projects completed, focusing on multifunctionality, ecological benefits, and community engagement [1][12]. Group 1: Bridge Space Enhancement - A total of 14 key bridge improvement projects have been completed, including the transformation of the Xincheng Steel Bridge and Lianfang Bridge, which have adopted a model of "multiple uses, space governance, and ecological benefits" [1][12]. - The Lianfang Bridge area has seen the addition of 17 new social parking lots, providing approximately 750 parking spaces, and the implementation of traffic optimization measures to enhance regional traffic efficiency and urban travel quality [3][4]. Group 2: Specific Improvements at Lianfang Bridge - The Lianfang Bridge underwent a three-pronged approach of "modification, excavation, and painting" to revitalize the under-bridge space, including the creation of a new turning lane and expansion of traffic lanes to improve flow [4]. - The project integrated previously unused spaces to create four new social parking lots with over 110 parking spots and introduced a shared parking service for residents [4]. - Ecological enhancements included the construction of 260 meters of flower beds, 1,060 meters of neatly laid curbs, and 150 square meters of grass, with seasonal flower planting planned to beautify the area [4]. Group 3: New Shougang Bridge Transformation - The New Shougang Bridge's under-space, previously a "gray area" with poor greenery and safety concerns, has been transformed into a vibrant space of approximately 23,000 square meters, combining sports, leisure, and cultural activities [6][8]. - The redesign focuses on community needs by introducing fitness facilities and creating an open "urban living room" for social interactions, catering to various age groups [8].
