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.[3] The bridge opened on 1 July 2020.[4]
On its upper level, it carries a six-lane highway for the S19 Nantong–Wuxi Expressway. On its lower level, it carries four railway tracks with a design speed of 200 km/h for the Husutong railway, which opened on 1 July 2020,[4] and the future Tongsujiayong high-speed railway. The main cable-stayed span is 1,092 metres (3,583 ft) long and is supported by two 330-metre (1,080 ft) tall towers.[5] The secondary arch span is 336 metres (1,102 ft) long.
