The bridge spans 1,700 metres (5,577.4 feet; 1.1 miles) across the Yangtze River. The bridge is the longest double-deck bridge span in the world and carries motorized vehicles, non-motorized vehicles, and pedestrians on its two decks.

The lower deck includes four more motor vehicle lanes that connect to the city streets, two 2.5 m (8.2 ft) lanes for non-motorized vehicles, and two more pedestrian walkways.

Tourism

Sometimes in the rain, mist forms making the other side of the Yangtze River invisible, and the area beneath the bridge becomes a minimalist scenic spot.
