Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge carries a new look

The Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, whose construction was completed 50 years ago, has become the symbol of a collective memory and national pride. It was China's first self-designed bridge over the Yangtze without foreign assistance. It has long been serving as an artery for the Beijing-Shanghai Railway and as road transport for Nanjing. The double-decker bridge will be reopened by the end of the year.
