The new Yalu River Bridge is located in Dandong City, Liaoning Province. It is 3 kilometers long and 33 meters wide, connecting Dandong and neighboring North Korea. It is the longest river-crossing highway bridge in China and a bridge bearing the friendship between China and North Korea. On 20 1 1, the foundation laying ceremony of the new Yalu river bridge was held, and the main construction of the transnational bridge was completed on 20 14. In 20 15, the DPRK took over the construction of the approach bridge and supporting facilities, but nothing was left, and this transnational bridge has been idle. ?
Up to now, China and North Korea have been using the Old Yalu River Bridge. As a historical monument, it has withstood the baptism of war. Because of its age, trucks with a capacity of more than 20 tons are impassable and can only travel in one direction, which seriously restricts personnel exchanges and trade exchanges between the two countries and hinders their economic development. So far, what is the reason why this1800 million yuan transnational bridge has not been used? It should be because the infrastructure strength of the two sides is not on the same line, and there is no doubt about the construction capacity of China, and the transportation network there has not been opened so far, so it is of little use to complete it quickly in China. After all, the construction of North Korea still needs their own construction team to complete.
I hope the new Yalu River Bridge can be opened to traffic as soon as possible. Compared with the old Yalu River Bridge, the new Yalu River Bridge is more magnificent. People who travel to Dandong may wish to have a look and compare the old Yalu River Bridge with the new Yalu River Bridge.
