The Nanjing-Yangzhou Yangtze River Bridge officially opened to traffic on January 1, marking a significant milestone in the region’s transportation infrastructure. Situated between the Fourth Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge and the Runyang Yangtze River Bridge, this new bridge enhances connectivity across the Yangtze River, linking key cities in Jiangsu Province.
The bridge connects the southern bank of the river with Nanjing City and Jurong City in Zhenjiang, while the northern bank links to Yizheng City in Yangzhou. This strategic positioning is expected to bolster economic integration, facilitate trade, and improve travel efficiency between these major urban centers.
Local residents and businesses anticipate that the new bridge will reduce travel times and alleviate traffic congestion on existing routes. The enhanced connectivity is also projected to stimulate regional development, attracting investment opportunities, and promoting tourism in the area.
The Nanjing-Yangzhou Yangtze River Bridge stands as a testament to the ongoing efforts to develop modern infrastructure in the Chinese mainland, reflecting the nation’s commitment to fostering regional growth and interconnectivity.
