The Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge connects the three towns of Wuhan and greatly promotes the economic and social development of Wuhan. At the same time, the bridge will be separated by the Yangtze River Jinghan Railway and Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway as a whole, thus forming a complete Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, which has played an important role in promoting the economic development of China's north and south.

The first bridge built on the Yangtze River was the "Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge."

Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge is a bridge connecting Hanyang District in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China.

The cross-river passage with Wuchang District, located on the Yangtze River waterway, was the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Later, the first Yangtze River bridge was built for road and rail.

The construction of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge began on September 1, 1955; On July 1, 1957, the main bridge closure project was completed; It was opened to traffic on October 15, 1957. Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge starts from Chuqin Interchange in the west, crosses the Yangtze River waterway in the east, and reaches Zhongshan Road in the east; The total length of the line is meters, and the main bridge is full length of meters; The upper deck is a two-way four-lane urban arterial road with a design speed of 100 km/h, and the lower deck is a double-track track with a design speed of 160kmh.

There are more than 100 bridges on the Yangtze River.

The Yangtze River Basin is located in the waist and belly of the entire Chinese territory, covering 10 provinces and cities including Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan, Anhui, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Shanghai, 167 large and medium-sized cities, with a basin area of 1.8 million square kilometers.

As of November 2019, China has built 115 Yangtze River bridges of various types on the main stream of the Yangtze River, including 27 girder bridges, 57 cable-stayed bridges, 22 suspension bridges and 9 arch bridges. According to the function, there are 9 road and railway bridges, 9 iron and road bridges, 4 public rail bridges, 2 pedestrian bridges, 1 pipeline bridge, and the rest are highway bridges.

Construction Significance:

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was no bridge on the Yangtze River, and the river could only be crossed by ferry, and the traffic was very inconvenient. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, on October 15, 1957, the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was completed and opened to traffic, and Soviet experts provided a lot of guidance for the design and construction of the bridge.

In 1968, the first Yangtze River bridge independently built by China, the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, was completed and opened to traffic, which is of great significance in the history of bridges in China and even in the history of bridges in the world.

The upper level of the road is 18 meters wide and can accommodate six cars in parallel, with sidewalks on both sides, and a two-track railway bridge on the lower level. In the construction of the Yangtze River Bridge, the engineering and technical personnel for the first time to adopt the large-scale string foundation and the barrage section of the string drilling construction method, is a pioneering achievement in the history of bridge construction in China, for the future bridges around the use of large-scale pipe diameter of the string foundation to provide valuable experience.

The Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge embodies the ingenuity of the designers and the exquisite skills of the builders. Eight giant piers stand in the middle of the river, and the rice-shaped trusses and rhombic lattice with auxiliary vertical rods make the huge steel girders reveal a delicate atmosphere; The 35-meter-high abutments rise over both banks, adding to the majesty of the bridge.
