Jiujiang Yangtze River Bridge, Road and rail bridge in Jiujiang, China.
The Jiujiang Yangtze River Bridge is a road and rail crossing that carries traffic above and rail lines below on two separate levels. Its upper deck has four vehicle lanes alongside pedestrian paths, while trains run on two tracks on the lower level.
Construction started in 1973 with significant technical difficulties to overcome during the building process. The bridge opened to traffic in 1993 after two decades of work.
The bridge represents a significant advancement in Chinese engineering, connecting the provinces of Jiangxi and Hubei while supporting regional economic development.
Drivers use the upper level while train passengers travel on the lower level, so you experience the crossing differently depending on your transport. Pedestrians can cross on the upper deck and see the river from above.
The bridge connects two provinces and serves as a major route for both trade and daily commuting between regions. Its combination of arch and truss design is more complex than typical river crossings in the country.
