I believe the reason for the no bridges and the dam itself was because in years past the river would majorly flood and essentially change its course and where it dumped into an ocean.
It is a shame that all that history and everyone's way of life will be totally altered in ways that could never be restored.
Perfect example of rushing from the 19th century to the 21st century in less than 20 years.
I took this boat trip back in the early 90s. The 3 Gorges were back then the most beautiful place in the world, in my opinion. I'm really sad they've been destroyed in the name of Progress.
