Husutong Yangtze River Bridge is a cable-stayed structure with two towers rising above the river, supporting the entire span across the water. The upper level carries a six-lane highway while the lower level holds railway tracks for trains.

Practical
The bridge is open around the clock for cars and trains, providing a direct connection for travelers between the two cities. You can walk along the viewing areas or cross by train to see the river width and structural details.
