Yangtze River Bridge
The Yangtze River Bridge is the third bridge built to span the Yangtze River after the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge and the Chongqing Baishatuo Yangtze River Bridge. It was completed in 1968 and is the first double-decker, double-track highway and railway bridge designed and constructed by the Chinese without outside engineering assistance.
It is 6,772 meters (22,212 feet) long and has a span of 160 m (525 feet)--it can take up to 15 minutes to cross during regular traffic periods. The significant double-deck construction is made up of the main bridge portion which spans 1,577 meters and the bridge approach which measures 3,012 meters. The upper deck of the bridge is a highway with a span of 4,589 meters. There are sidewalks on either side of the highway and each measures over two meters in width. The lower deck holds a twin-track railway with a length of 6,772 meters and a width of 14 meters that allows two trains to run in different directions.
