Is Shanghai Yangshan Port a joke?

Yangshan Deepwater Port, located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, is one of the largest ports in the world and the deepwater port area of Shanghai International Shipping Center. Although it is located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, this port is called Shanghai Yangshan Port. Donghai Bridge is the first 26-kilometer-long cross-sea bridge in China. Although Yangshan Deepwater Port is one of the largest ports in the world, it is not connected by railway.

Because the East China Sea Bridge was built in 2002, both technically and empirically, it was not enough to build a highway-rail bridge.

At that time, only Japan had its own road-rail bridge, and the first cross-sea road-rail bridge in China was started in 20 13. Pingtan Strait Highway-Railway Bridge is still under construction, so we can see why it is so difficult to build such a long-distance highway-railway bridge, so it is good to connect Shanghai and Yangshan Port by expressway, and the width of Donghai Bridge is not suitable for railway construction. Besides, as a big port, shipping itself is more convenient, faster and more economical than railway transportation. Secondly, it should be clear that the ports coming to Yangshan Deepwater Port are all containers, and the destinations are not as concentrated as railways, let alone suitable for railways. Yangshan Deepwater Port is a transit port, not the destination of sea transportation, or the goods are transported by water or sea at the beginning.

Of course, with China's accession to the WTO, the western development will be accelerated, and China's inland transportation mode will begin to change. Inland railway container transportation is one of the important development directions of container transportation in the future. As a transit port, Yangshan Deepwater Port has a port railway container loading and unloading area, which has the conditions for two-way transshipment and loading for the port and inland areas by railway. This is the previous plan to build the railway.

Do you think a railway should be built for the Donghai Bridge in front of the screen?
