Overview
- Project crews installed the last steel segment of the road deck on 26 September, closing both bridge halves and completing a continuous structure 1,416.9 metres long.
- The bridge carries a six‑lane road and a separate high‑speed rail track on the same level with a 608‑metre main span and towers of 253 metres and 234.9 metres.
- Work remaining before passenger service includes road surfacing, installation of signaling and electrical systems, track commissioning and regulatory testing.
- Officials and project outlets say the design could set four world records, a claim reported by local and state media but not independently verified in the coverage.
- The crossing is part of the national high‑speed network and is expected to speed travel on the Chongqing–Wanzhou corridor, with trains planned to run up to 350 km/h when the route opens in 2027.
