Taedonggang Railway Bridge, Railway bridge in Pyongyang, North Korea.
The Taedonggang Railway Bridge is a steel structure with multiple spans crossing the Taedong River to connect eastern and western sections of Pyongyang. The bridge carries both freight and passenger trains as part of the city's rail network.
This bridge was built in 1905 during Japanese administration and was one of the first major crossings of the Taedong River. It has remained a key transportation link through multiple periods of the region's history.
A Pulitzer Prize photograph from December 1950 documented civilians crossing the damaged structure during a critical period of the Korean War.
The bridge can be viewed from the banks of the Taedong River or from nearby streets that run along the waterfront. Access directly to the bridge structure itself may be restricted.
The geographical positioning at 38.990778 latitude and 125.748333 longitude places this bridge between the Yanggak Bridge upstream and Chungsong Bridge downstream.
