Badong Yangtze River Bridge

The Badong Yangtze River Bridge extends 908 meters across the river with two concrete A-frame towers connected by double planes of cables.

The construction of this road bridge began in 1999 and concluded in 2001, with the official opening taking place on July 1, 2004.

The bridge serves as a vital connection point along the Yangtze River, linking communities and facilitating movement between different regions of Hubei Province.

Standing at 218 meters high, the bridge carries four lanes of China National Highway 209 traffic over a section of the Three Gorges reservoir.

The water level beneath the bridge changed significantly after the Three Gorges Dam construction, reducing the original clearance of 147 meters.
