Scenic View of the Anqing Yangtze River Bridge

　　The Anqing Yangtze River Bridge is situated on the Anqing section of the Yangtze River, stretching 5,985.66 meters in total length with a main bridge of 1,040 meters. It is the 35th bridge that transforms a natural barrier into a thoroughfare along the mighty Yangtze. The bridge lies 164 kilometers downstream from the Jiujiang Yangtze River Bridge and 96 kilometers upstream from the Tongling Yangtze River Bridge. The entire bridge is designed as a four-lane expressway, with a design speed of 100 km/h.

　　The construction of the Anqing Yangtze River Bridge set four national records: the shortest time from selecting the construction contractor to launching the first steel cofferdam—just 22 days; the shortest period from launching the first steel cofferdam to setting it on the riverbed and sealing the base—only 80 working days; the highest precision in setting the steel cofferdam on the rock (1/660), surpassing the design specification by 6.6 times; and the longest zero-accident safety record maintained during the construction of similar bridges nationwide.

　　The Anqing Yangtze River Bridge serves as an intersection point for the Anhui section of the Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway, the Yangtze River Alongside Expressway, and the Dongying-Hong Kong Expressway. Since then, Anqing, this historic and cultural city, has gained northward, eastward, and southward access to sea routes, strengthening its economic ties with the Bohai Rim region, the Yangtze River Delta, the southeastern Fujian area, and the Pearl River Delta, thus paving new broad pathways for the city’s development.
