New Yalu River Bridge
New Yalu River Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge between Dandong, China and Sinuiju, North Korea
Description
The New Yalu River Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge connecting Dandong, China with Sinuiju, North Korea across the border river. It was designed as a modern transport link to facilitate cross-border commerce and improve connections between the two countries.
History
Construction took place between 2011 and 2014 after China and North Korea agreed to upgrade their border infrastructure connections. The project was intended to strengthen economic ties between the two neighboring countries.
Culture
The bridge represents changing economic relations between China and North Korea, with China investing 350 million dollars in its construction.
Practical
The bridge accommodates multiple traffic lanes designed for heavy vehicles. Visitors should note this is a border crossing and accessibility depends on current entry regulations for each country.
Did you know?
Although completed in 2014, the bridge initially remained unused because the North Korean side ended in an empty field without connecting infrastructure. This reveals the challenge of building cross-border infrastructure in a geopolitically tense region.
