This steel truss bridge extends 6,772 meters across the Yangtze River, featuring two levels that separate road traffic above from railway operations below, with a main span of 160 meters.
Construction began in January 1960 and concluded in September 1968, representing China's first large-scale bridge built entirely with domestic engineering expertise and materials during a period of industrial advancement.

The structure carries approximately 80,000 vehicles daily on its upper deck and 200 train pairs on its lower level, connecting the Beijing-Shanghai railway line and facilitating regional transportation.
The bridge includes decorative bridge towers at both ends with political slogans and relief sculptures depicting industrial achievements, reflecting the architectural style and political atmosphere of its construction period.
