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

Description

Chaotianmen Bridge is a multi-level structure spanning the Yangtze River in Chongqing with a double-deck design. The steel roadway carries six vehicle lanes on top, while rail tracks run beneath for passenger and freight transport.

History

The project began in late 2004 and required advanced engineering to handle the Yangtze River's challenging conditions. It opened in 2009, transforming connections between city districts.

Culture

The name refers to a historical imperial wharf, and the bridge's red color mirrors traditional Chinese architectural preferences.

Practical

The bridge connects multiple districts directly, cutting travel time significantly between different city areas. Access is available from major roads, and pedestrians can use designated sections.

Did you know?

The main steel arch measures 552 meters and was one of the longest of its type when it opened. This engineering feat made it a notable structure for the region.
