The Changtai Yangtze River Bridge in Jiangsu Province—co-built by CCCC—has been officially opened to traffic. It is the world's largest-span cable-stayed bridge and also the longest steel truss arch railway-highway bridge.

The bridge's river-crossing section stretches 10.03 kilometers, including a 5.3-kilometer combined road-rail segment. Its main towers rise 350 meters, with a record-breaking main span of 1,208 meters.

With the bridge now in operation, travel time between Changzhou and Taizhou has been cut from 1 hour 20 minutes to just about 20 minutes. This engineering marvel, a landmark of innovation, is injecting new momentum into the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
