korean side: No reasons have been given in official media, according to The Japan Times. About 700 km 430 miles to the south, near the city of Dandong, the New Yalu River Bridge connecting the two countries lies unfinished. What was planned in 2011 as a 30 billion yuan 4.36 billion development intended to showcase economic engagement between the two countries has stalled in recent months. It was planned in 2010 at a cost of 2.2 billion yuan but now stands as a monument to the slowdown in economic ties. Beijing appears sensitive about the North Korea issue. A Reuters team visiting the area saw some signs of trade trucks coming across another bridge over the Yalu and boats being loaded with goods on the North Korean side of the river.
