Jinshajiang Bridge of Chengkun Railway

The Jinshajiang Bridge spans across the Jinsha River with a steel beam design, connecting the provinces of Sichuan and Yunnan through the Chengdu-Kunming railway line.

The bridge construction was completed in 1970 as part of the Third Front campaign, which aimed to develop industrial infrastructure in China's interior regions.

The bridge represents a milestone in Chinese engineering, demonstrating the nation's capabilities in constructing large-scale transportation infrastructure across complex geographical terrains.

Located at coordinates 26.58118°N and 101.83652°E, the bridge carries both passenger and freight trains, reducing travel time between major southwestern Chinese cities.

The steel structure crosses through mountainous regions, overcoming elevation changes while maintaining structural stability for heavy railway traffic.
