Chinese humanoid robots recently walked gracefully across Yangtze River on the world's longest catwalk, the Yanji Yangtze River Bridge—holder of seven world records. Witness the stunning fusion of China’s cutting-edge technology and world-class engineering!
Spanning approximately 26 kilometers, the Yanji Yangtze River Bridge features a main span of 1,860 meters. The upper level is a highway designed for speeds of 100 km/h, while the lower level is an urban expressway with a design speed of 80 km/h.
With a single span across the Yangtze River, the bridge is the world’s largest-span suspension bridge with four main cables. The total length of steel wires in all four cables reaches approximately 330,000 kilometers, with a combined weight of around 65,000 tons—making them the longest and heaviest main cables in the world. Together, the cables exert a total tensile force of 280,000 tons, the highest ever for any suspension bridge globally.
Once completed, the bridge will play a pivotal role in advancing a fully integrated regional transport network—spanning road, rail, river, and air—and will significantly boost economic development across the region.
