New Baishatuo Yangtze River Bridge

The New Baishatuo Bridge spans 5.32 kilometers across the Yangtze River with four passenger tracks on the upper deck and two cargo tracks below.

The bridge replaced the 1960 original Baishatuo Railway Bridge, which was the first bridge over the Yangtze River in the Chongqing region.

This transportation structure received the Luban Prize for engineering excellence, marking its contribution to Chinese infrastructure development.

The upper deck accommodates passenger trains at speeds of 200 kilometers per hour, while the lower deck supports cargo trains at 120 kilometers per hour.

The structure holds records as the first six-line railway steel truss cable-stayed bridge with the largest span and heaviest load capacity worldwide.
