Builders to move cathedral

A cathedral in a Chinese city is to be turned around 90 degrees and moved 250ft to create space for a new main street.
The Cathedral of St Dominic in Fuzhou city has already been raised three feet with hundreds of jacks and workers are now laying concrete tracks underneath.

Another eight tracks have been laid in front to carry the 1,500 tonnes building eastwards, and then south.

"Under the cathedral, we've installed nearly 400 wheels, which will ensure the cathedral moves smoothly on the tracks," said a spokesman for the construction team.

The two-storey Catholic cathedral was built in 1933 and is a local attraction.
