Wuhu Yangtze River Bridge
Wuhu Yangtze River Bridge, Double-decker bridge in Wuhu, China
Description
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.
History
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.
Culture
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.
Practical
Pedestrians can cross using sidewalks on both sides of the upper deck while getting views of the river below. The best time to walk is during daytime when traffic is lighter and visibility is clearer.
Did you know?
The longest span between support pillars measures about 312 meters, showing how engineers solved water crossings without numerous intermediate posts. This span width allows ships to pass freely beneath the bridge.
