Taedonggang Railway Bridge, Railway bridge in Pyongyang, North Korea.

The Taedonggang Railway Bridge stretches across the Taedong River with steel trusses and multiple spans connecting the eastern and western sections of Pyongyang.

The Japanese administration constructed this railway bridge in 1905, making it one of the first major crossings over the Taedong River in Pyongyang.

A Pulitzer Prize photograph from December 1950 documented civilians crossing the damaged structure during a critical period of the Korean War.

The bridge remains operational for both freight and passenger trains, serving as an essential connection point in Pyongyang's transportation network.

The geographical positioning at 38.990778 latitude and 125.748333 longitude places this bridge between the Yanggak Bridge upstream and Chungsong Bridge downstream.
