Husutong Yangtze River Bridge

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.

The project began in 2014 and was finished after six years of construction, marking an important milestone for transportation infrastructure in Eastern China. It represented a major undertaking that used modern engineering methods to cross the wide river.

The bridge links two major urban regions and makes daily travel between Nantong and Suzhou easier for residents and visitors. It has become part of how people move through the area and connect different communities.

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.

The main span stretches over 1,000 meters, making it one of the longest spans for a dual-level bridge of this design. This length allows the entire crossing to function without needing tall support columns in the middle of the river.
