The restored bridge was reopened to pedestrians on 8 April 2009.
It was opened to vehicular traffic early in the morning of 11 April.
According to the bridge's repairers, The bridge will "weigh more than 1,000 tons as the result of its 10-month repair and restoration program.
It was the most in-depth restoration effort since Waibaidu Bridge was built in 1907."

One of the improvements was the installation of an LED lighting system on the bridge, which cycles through different colours,  and was also designed to reduce electricity consumption and make the bridge more attractive at night
