Wuhu Yangtze River Bridge, Double-decker bridge in Wuhu, China

The Wuhu Yangtze River Bridge is a double-decker crossing that combines cable-stayed and truss construction to span the river. The structure stretches approximately 10 kilometers with four car lanes on the upper level and two railway tracks on the lower level.

The bridge opened in 2000, marking a turning point in regional transportation as ferry crossings became unnecessary. Combining road and rail in a single structure was an innovative solution for its time.

The bridge serves as a major passage for people crossing the Yangtze daily, linking neighborhoods and workplaces on both riverbanks. It has become a hub where car and train passengers share the same structure, making it central to how the region moves.

The bridge carries the G5011 Wuhu–Hefei Expressway on its upper deck and the dual-track Huainan Railway below, so it is crossed by road and rail rather than on foot. The deck is 18 metres wide, with 1.5-metre walkways along each side. The bridge stands about 650 metres downstream of the Guangfuji headland in Wuhu, opposite Tangjiawan in Wuwei.

The bridge's steel girders were the first in China to use domestically developed low-carbon medium-strength steel, chosen for its welding performance and low-temperature toughness. Its 30 mm high-strength bolts demanded precise fabrication and installation. Chinese reports count 14 technical breakthroughs or first applications during construction.
