Anqing Yangtze River Railway Bridge, Cable-stayed railway bridge in Anqing, China
The Anqing Yangtze River Railway Bridge is a modern cable-stayed railway crossing that spans nearly 3 kilometers across the river. The structure accommodates four railway tracks and features a long central span that dominates the landscape.
Construction of this railway project started in 2014 and the bridge officially opened in 2015. The completion marked a turning point in rail connections across this section of the river.
The bridge has changed how people travel between the two riverbanks, making daily commutes simpler and faster. Communities that were once separated by water now feel more connected through this transport link.
The bridge carries trains only and is not accessible to pedestrians or vehicles. Best views of the structure can be found from the riverbanks and nearby vantage points along the water's edge.
The bridge cut train travel time between Nanjing and Anqing dramatically, making commutes between the two cities far shorter than before. This change transformed how residents could move between these urban centers.
