New Baishatuo Yangtze River Bridge

New Baishatuo Yangtze River Bridge, Double-decker cable-stayed railway bridge in Dadukou District and Jiangjin District, China

The New Baishatuo Yangtze River Bridge is a double-decker cable-stayed railway structure spanning 5.3 kilometers across the river in Chongqing. The upper level carries four passenger train tracks while the lower level supports two freight train lines.

The bridge was built because the old Baishatuo Yangtze River Bridge, 130 metres upstream, could not carry enough weight and limited trains to under 60 km/h. Construction of pier 3 began in July 2013, the main span closed on 30 December 2015, and the bridge opened with the Chongqing–Guiyang railway on 25 January 2018. Its lower freight deck began service on 24 April 2019, when the Xingluo railway was rerouted over the new bridge.

The bridge's name comes from the Baishatuo reach of the Yangtze it crosses, 130 metres downstream from the old Baishatuo bridge. Its two pylons rise 175.45 and 192.45 metres, and the 224 stay cables weigh 3,330 tonnes. The lower deck opened on 24 April 2019, when Xingluo railway traffic was rerouted over the new span.

Visitors can view the bridge from nearby riverbanks and observation points to appreciate its scale and engineering design. The best views come during daytime when the cable structure and double-deck configuration are clearly visible.

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