요약정보

This is the New Yalu River Bridge‚ linking the northeastern Chinese city of Dandong to North Korea's border city of Sinuiju.
The 3-kilometer-long structure was scheduled to open late last month‚ but Chinese state media reports the opening has been pushed back indefinitely.
China footed the entire cost of the 350-million U.S. dollar project‚ expecting the bridge to boost bilateral trade.
But after four years of work‚ facilities and roads linking the bridge into the border cities remain unfinished.
Satellite images taken in September also show that North Korea hasn't started building customs facilities.
Compared to pictures taken in October of last year‚ we see no improvements at all.
In fact‚ some buildings have been torn down during the time.

"China and North Korea delayed laying roads linking the bridge to the cities because Beijing is not happy with Pyongyang's nuclear programs and North Korea is unhappy with its current relationship with Beijing. I don't think the bridge will open until the latter half of next year."
Watchers say the hold up completing the bridge‚ which was supposed to handle some 80 percent of goods passing between both countries‚ reflects the sour relations between the once strong allies.
