Chaotianmen Bridge, Multi-level bridge in Central Chongqing, China.

The Chaotianmen Bridge extends 4,881 meters across the Yangtze River, featuring a double-deck structure with six vehicle lanes on the upper level and rail tracks below.

Construction of this major infrastructure project started in December 2004 and required significant engineering expertise to manage the challenges of the Yangtze River's water conditions.

The name Chaotianmen references the historical imperial wharf location, while the bridge's red color reflects traditional Chinese architectural preferences.

The bridge connects Wulidian Subdistrict in Jiangbei District to Danzishi Subdistrict in Nan'an District, reducing travel time between central business areas.

The main steel arch span measures 552 meters, establishing the structure as the longest through-arch bridge worldwide when it opened in 2009.
