The Husutong Yangtze River Bridge is a combined rail and road bridge which crosses the Yangtze River in Jiangsu, China. It is the easternmost railway crossing of the Yangtze river.
Construction began on 1 March 2014. [1] The Shanghai–Suzhou–Nantong railway (Husutong railway), opened on 1 July 2020, uses this bridge. [2]
On its upper level, it carries a six-lane highway. On its lower level it carries four railway tracks with a design speed of 200 km/h. The main cable-stayed span is 1,092 metres (3,583 ft) long and is supported by two 330 metres (1,080 ft) tall towers. [3] The secondary arch span is 336 metres (1,102 ft) long.

The Nanjing–Qidong railway, commonly referred to in short as the Ningqi railway, is a higher-speed rail line in Jiangsu Province, China. Its common name is derived from Ning, the one-character abbreviation for Nanjing and Qi, which refers to Qidong, a county-level city of Nantong.
The bridges and tunnels across the Yangtze River carry rail and road traffic across China's longest and largest river and form a vital part of the country's transportation infrastructure. The river bisects China proper from west to east, and every major north–south bound highway and railway must cross the Yangtze. Large urban centers along the river such as Chongqing, Wuhan, and Nanjing also have urban mass transit rail lines crossing the Yangtze.
Double-stack rail transport is a form of intermodal freight transport in which railroad cars carry two layers of intermodal containers. Invented in the United States in 1984, it is now being used for nearly seventy percent of United States intermodal shipments. Using double stack technology, a freight train of a given length can carry roughly twice as many containers, sharply reducing transport costs per container. On United States railroads special well cars are used for double-stack shipment to reduce the needed vertical clearance and to lower the center of gravity of a loaded car. In addition, the well car design reduces damage in transit and provides greater cargo security by cradling the lower containers so their doors cannot be opened. A succession of larger container sizes have been introduced to further increase shipping productivity in the United States.
The Hanjiatuo Yangtze River Bridge is a cable-stayed railway bridge over the Yangtze River in the Fuling District of Chongqing, China. The bridge carries the Chongqing-Lichuan Railway and was completed in 2012.
