Huangjueping Yangtze River bridge, bridge in People's Republic of China
The Huangjueping Yangtze River Bridge is a planned cable-stayed road-rail bridge linking Jiulongpo and Nan'an districts in Chongqing. Its total length is 1,930 metres, with a 550-metre main span and a 41-metre-wide deck. The two white towers have a hollow spindle shape, and the bridge carries six lanes on the upper deck and six lanes plus Rail Transit Line 24 on the lower deck, with 2.5-metre walkways on both sides.
The bridge was planned as a control project of the Baiyiyi–Lujiao east–west trunk road in Chongqing's 2011–2020 master transport plan. In April 2015 the municipal development and reform commission approved preliminary work on the bridge and the Lujiao tunnel. By January 2026 the substructure was finished, with the superstructure and interchanges still under construction.
The bridge is planned to carry Line 24 of the Chongqing rail network across the Yangtze on its lower deck, alongside six road lanes, while the upper deck holds six more lanes of urban expressway. Its two white pylon towers are shaped as openwork spindles (tiansuo), a form residents will see rising above the Jiulong Peninsula. The crossing links the Huangjueping interchange on the west bank with the Ertang interchange and Lujiao tunnel on the east.
The bridge is still under construction: as of January 2026 the lower structure was finished while the upper structure and the interchange works continued, so access is not open to the public. Its deck is arranged in two levels, with the urban expressway above and the urban trunk road plus Rail Transit Line 24 below; each side carries a 2.5 m walkway.
The design is described as the world's first earth-anchored road-rail suspension bridge with spatial cable planes, a technically demanding structure. Its two white towers take a hollow spindle (tiansuo) form. The deck carries six lanes on the upper level and six lanes plus rail line 24 below, with 2.5 m walkways on each side.
