What was the reported budget estimate for Qiongzhou Bridge when it opened in 2003?
Qiongzhou Bridge is the 1,396.98-metre road crossing over the Nandu River in Haikou, Hainan. It opened on 12 May 2003, connecting the city-side Guoxing Avenue to a separate road link towards the Haikou–Wenchang expressway. A Hainan Daily report published the next day gave the bridge project a CNY 193 million budget estimate and separately listed CNY 88 million for that road connector. The bridge estimate is not a verified final construction bill, and the connector amount is not included in the playable answer.
