The historic but dilapidated Chikan Overpass at the intersection of Shenchuan Avenue and Kangshun Road is planned for demolition.

Built in 1991, it is the first and only highway overpass in Zhanjiang and has formed an important part of the city's collective memory over the past 27 years.

Here are some photos that capture and preserve life under the overpass.
