What to expect at Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge
Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge was the first heavy bridge designed and built using Chinese expertise. It is a double-decked road-rail truss bridge across the Yangtze River in Nanjing, Jiangsu, connecting the city’s Pukou and Gulou districts. Its upper deck is part of China National Highway 104, spanning 4,588 metres (15,052 ft). Its lower deck, with a double-track railway, is 6,772 metres (22,218 ft) long, and completes the Beijing–Shanghai railway, which had been divided by the Yangtze for decades. Its right bridge consists of nine piers, with the maximum span of 160 metres (525 ft) and the total length of 1,576 metres (5,171 ft). The bridge carries approximately 80,000 vehicles and 190 trains per day.
There are several statues on the bridge, tribute to the engineers who built it. The sculptures on either side of the bridge symbolize labor, peasant, soldier, student and the businessman. In one of the towers is a grand statue of Mao Zedong, along with different art collected around China. They are about 230 feet high. In the center of the bridge is a fantastic spot to take photos of the Yangtze River and the surround areas.
