Husutong Yangtze River Bridge

Husutong Yangtze River Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Nantong, China

The Husutong Yangtze River Bridge is a five-span, two-pylon continuous steel truss cable-stayed bridge whose main span measures 1,092 metres, with pylons rising 325 metres. Its light-grey concrete towers are Y-shaped, the two legs meeting above the deck and continuing as a single column, and thin white cables fan down to a blue steel truss deck. The upper level carries a six-lane expressway and the lower level four railway tracks.

Construction started in 2014 and the bridge opened to traffic in 2020 after six years of work over the wide river. It was built as part of a broader effort to strengthen road and rail links across the Yangtze in Jiangsu province.

The name Husutong combines Hù (short for Shanghai) and Sūtōng (Suzhou–Nantong), reflecting the bridge's role on the Shanghai–Suzhou–Nantong corridor. The bridge was built for the Husutong Railway, which opened with it on 1 July 2020. Its lower deck carries four tracks, with the Husutong Railway on the downstream side and the planned Tongsujiayong Railway on the upstream side.

Taking the train is the easiest way to cross and gives a clear view of the river from the lower deck. For those traveling by car, traffic can build up on the highway approach during peak hours, so planning accordingly helps.

The bridge's main span of 1,092 metres is the longest in the world for a combined road-rail cable-stayed bridge, and its towers reach 325 metres, also a world record for the type. The secondary span over the Tianshenggang shipping channel is a 336-metre steel truss arch. In 2022 the bridge was named among China's 100 major buildings of the new era.
