China and Vietnam are building a floating bridge to support border trade, the government of Dongxing City in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region announced Thursday.

The removable steel bridge, which will cost an estimated 7.5 million yuan (about 1.2 million U.S. dollars), will likely be built 3.5 kilometers upstream from Beilun River Road Bridge.

The floating bridge will support border trade between Dongxing and Mong Cai, Vietnam, by reducing transportation time and cost, according to Dongxing Mayor Chen Jianlin.

In 2015, 281,900 tonnes of goods and 6.1 million people crossed the border at Dongxing Port, according to Chen.

Dongxing is an important port for trade between China and ASEAN.
