Baishatuo Yangtze River Railway Bridge, Railway bridge in Chongqing, China.

The Baishatuo Yangtze River Railway Bridge stretches 825 meters across the Yangtze River, connecting Jiangjin District with Dadukou District through its steel truss structure.

Built in 1960, this bridge became the first crossing over the Yangtze River in Chongqing and the second bridge along the main stretch between Yibin and Shanghai.

The bridge represents Chinese engineering capabilities of the 1960s, marking a period of substantial infrastructure development across the Yangtze River region.

The structure carries the Chuanqian Railway line with its longest span measuring 80 meters, enabling continuous rail transportation across the mighty Yangtze River.

The bridge ceased operations in April 2019 to make way for a new six-track replacement structure featuring separate decks for passenger and freight trains.
