Talk about your feelings about crossing Tongling Bridge.

In recent years, Anhui's overall economy has developed very well. Many cities in Anhui are well-known in China, such as Huangshan, Hefei and Wuhu. Huangshan Mountain has a high tourist popularity because of its famous tourist attractions, and Hefei, as the capital city of Anhui Province, has a strong comprehensive strength. There are many big cities in Anhui, such as Tongling, which is one of the 27 cities in the central area of the Yangtze River Delta.

Tongling has a long history of copper mining and smelting. The city is named after copper, which makes it prosperous. However, mineral resources will be exhausted sooner or later, and new development directions need to be sought. However, no matter what industry is developed, it needs a sound transportation network to support it. Therefore, Tongling has attached great importance to traffic construction in recent years. Tongling is also characterized by being surrounded by the Yangtze River, which facilitates its shipping, but makes it difficult to build high-speed and railways.

In order to facilitate people's travel and improve the city's transportation network, Tongling is now planning to build a Yangtze River Bridge, named Tongling Yangtze River Third Bridge. In fact, the construction planning of this Yangtze River Bridge has been going on for several years. How is the bridge going now? It is reported that the first project of the Third Yangtze River Bridge in Tongling started bidding in July 2020, so the construction of its first project should be faster.

The construction of the Third Yangtze River Bridge in Tongling should have improved the city's traffic network and facilitated travel, but some people say that the construction of this bridge is a waste. Why? Mainly because the planned location of the bridge is close to the existing Tongling Yangtze River Bridge, which is located 600 meters upstream of the Tongling Yangtze River Bridge. In fact, the functions of the two bridges are quite different. Tongling Yangtze River Third Bridge is planned to be a highway-railway bridge. After the completion of the third bridge, the existing Tongling Yangtze River Bridge can be used as a municipal bridge connecting the north and south of Tongling.

The construction of the third Yangtze River Bridge in Tongling will not only ease the traffic pressure of the existing Yangtze River Bridge in Tongling, but also improve the railway network in Tongling. The bridge will be built according to the standard of "four-lane railway+six-lane expressway". In the future, there will be Beijing-Taiwan Expressway, Hefei-Shandong Intercity Railway, Tongzong City Railway and other railway lines passing through here, with a planned total investment of about 7.24 billion yuan.

After the completion of the Third Yangtze River Bridge in Tongling, it will further enhance the urban pattern of Tongling, facilitate the communication between citizens in the north and south of Tongling, and improve the traffic network of Tongling, which is of great significance to the economic development of the city. Are you looking forward to the construction of this bridge?
