Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge
Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, Double-decker bridge in Nanjing, China
The steel bridge contains two separate levels with railway tracks on the lower deck and a four-lane national highway on the upper deck.
Built between 1960 and 1968, this structure marks the first Yangtze River crossing designed and constructed entirely by Chinese engineers.
The monumental statues at both ends of the bridge demonstrate the technical capabilities of Chinese engineers in the 1960s.
The 6772-meter structure connects the Pukou and Xiaguan districts, enabling simultaneous rail and road transportation across the Yangtze River.
Nine pillars support a metal truss bridge with a main span of 160 meters above the mighty Yangtze River.
