The Third Tongling Yangtze River Bridge (Chinese: 铜陵长江三桥), also called G3 Tongling Yangtze River Highway-Railway Bridge (Chinese: G3铜陵长江公铁大桥), is a bridge over the Yangtze River in Tongling, Anhui, China. The bridge is the longest two levels cable-stayed suspension bridge in the world when it opened in 2025.[3]
The two other Yangtze crossings in Tongling are the Tongling Yangtze River Bridge and the Tongling Yangtze River Road-railway Bridge.
The deck superstructure is a two levels truss deck 35 metres (115 ft) wide that accommodates three lanes of traffic in each direction on the upper level. The lower level has two railway tracks with a design speed of 120 kilometres per hour (75 mph) on the upstream side and two railway tracks with a design speed of 250 kilometres per hour (160 mph) on the upstream side.
The span arrangement is 127.5–131–988–131–127.5 metres (418–430–3,241–430–418 ft).
