Daning River Bridge

The Daning River Bridge is a steel arch structure that spans the river in Wushan County, connecting two riverbanks with a crossing of about 400 meters. The construction uses a sturdy arched design that carries vehicles safely across the water.

The bridge was built in two phases between 2009 and 2010, marking a turning point in how the Chongqing region connected its separated areas. Its completion improved access to places that had previously been difficult to reach from one another.

The bridge serves as a vital connection point for rural communities that were previously separated by the river, changing how local people travel and conduct daily activities. It represents the kind of infrastructure that brings together areas that would otherwise remain isolated from each other.

The bridge is accessible via the S301 Provincial Road, which provides the main route for vehicle traffic in this area. Visitors can easily reach the crossing by following this road, which offers clear signs and good driving conditions.

The bridge crosses a section of the river that was transformed by the Three Gorges Dam project, with the original town of Wushan now submerged beneath the water. This connection shows how the crossing links not just riverbanks but also represents a reminder of places that have disappeared.
