Tongling Yangtze River Road-railway Bridge, Combined road and railway bridge in Tongling, China.
Description
The Tongling Yangtze River Road-railway Bridge is a combined road and rail structure stretching 16,719 meters across the water. It uses both cable-stayed and truss design elements to support four traffic lanes and railway tracks operating at the same time.
History
The structure was built in response to growing transportation needs between the two regions and opened in 2015. It marked a turning point in riverside transport, replacing lengthy ferry crossings with a direct modern connection.
Culture
The bridge connects two shores that were once accessible only by ferry, making it easier for people from different regions to meet and move between communities. Today visitors can see how cars and trains use the structure simultaneously, showing how essential this connection has become to daily life.
Practical
You can view the bridge from the shore or cross it to see the structure from different angles and perspectives. The best vantage points are from above or along the approach roads where you can take in the full scale of the engineering.
Did you know?
The bridge carries both car traffic and trains simultaneously, a technically complex solution that is uncommon at most locations. This dual function allows large volumes of people and goods to move across the same structure without separate routes.
