Significance of Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge;

Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge is the "First Yangtze River Bridge", connecting the north-south traffic artery of China. It was completed and opened to traffic as early as 1906 and 1936, but when the two railways arrived in Wuhan, they were separated by the Yangtze River and never connected. With the completion of Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, Beijing-Han Railway and Guangdong-Han Railway are connected to form a complete Beijing-Guangzhou Railway. For Wuhan, the Yangtze River Bridge connects Wuchang, Hankou and Hanyang as a whole, which realizes the basic traffic conditions for Wuhan's rapid development.
