Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge: Located in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, lying across the Yangtze River between Guishan Mountain in Hanyang and Sheshan Mountain in Wuchang, it is the first railway and highway bridge on the Yangtze River, so it is also called "the first bridge of Wanli Yangtze River". The construction planning of Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge began in 19 10. From 19 13 to 1948, the Yangtze River Bridge was surveyed, selected and designed four times. However, due to economic and war reasons, several schemes were shelved. After the founding of New China, the construction of Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was listed as one of the projects of Soviet aid to China 156 in China's first five-year plan. 1950 started bridge survey and design, 1955 started construction. As the new pipe column drilling method was adopted to replace the traditional pneumatic caisson method, the construction speed of the bridge was greatly accelerated. The completion date of Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was advanced by two years, and it was officially opened to traffic on June 1957. Since its completion, the bridge has been a landmark building in Wuhan and one of the most famous tourist attractions.
Main attractions: Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge starts from the south slope of Guishan Mountain in Hanyang in the northwest and reaches the top of Sheshan Mountain in Wuchang in the southeast. Because turtles and snakes lock the river, the river is narrow and the length of the bridge is shortened. There are two mountains at the bottom of the river. Except for the poor geological conditions of pier No.7, all seven piers of the main bridge stand on solid rocks. Taking advantage of the mountains on both sides of the river, the clearance under the bridge is high, which can meet the navigation needs. The bridge is a double-deck highway-railway bridge with a total length of1670m, in which the main bridge is1156m.
Features: After the completion of the bridge, the three towns in Wuhan will be integrated, which greatly promotes the development of Wuhan. From a national macro point of view, the significance of the completion of the bridge is to connect the Beijing-Guangzhou railway and make the north-south railway transportation of the Yangtze River smooth. In the poem "Water Swimming" written by Mao Zedong after his first visit to Wuhan on June 1956 (when Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was under construction at that time), the sentence "A bridge flies north and south, and a moat becomes a thoroughfare" describes the important role of Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge in communicating the traffic between the north and the south of China. Since its completion, the bridge has been a landmark building in Wuhan. Total length of Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge 1, 670.4 meters. The main bridge is a double-deck steel-wood structure beam bridge for railway and highway. The upper floor is a highway bridge, and the lower floor is a double-track railway bridge. The bridge has eight piers and nine holes, each with a span of 1.28 m, and ships of 10,000 tons can pass under the bridge. Except for the seventh pier, all eight piers are drilled with large pipe columns. this is
