Construction Site of the Ma’anshan Yangtze River Road-Rail Bridge

The Ma'anshan Yangtze River Road-Rail Bridge, located on the Chaohu-Ma'anshan Intercity Railway, is the world's first three-tower cable-stayed bridge with dual main spans exceeding one kilometer. It is also the world's longest steel truss cable-stayed bridge. Currently, the construction of this project is proceeding in an orderly manner.

This railway is a vital part of the national "Eight Vertical and Eight Horizontal" high speed railway network, specifically within the Shanghai-Wuhan-Chengdu Rapid Passenger Passage. The construction of this railway is of great significance as it further improves the layout of the regional high speed railway network, promotes the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, and supports the implementation of the Yangtze River Economic Belt development strategy.
