October 2025 - The Bridge over Wu Gorge
About the Image(s)
In June 1995 I traveled in China and Tibet for three weeks. Included was a cruise on the Yangtze River. "The Yangtze River Bridge, located at the entrance of the Wu Gorge in the Three Gorges section of the Yangtze River, stands as a remarkable steel pipe arch bridge. With a net width of 19 meters, four lanes in each direction, and a main span of 492 meters, the bridge is an engineering marvel.
In essence, the Wushan Yangtze River Bridge emerges as more than just a physical structure; it symbolizes the triumph over geographical challenges, fostering connectivity, and unlocking new opportunities for economic growth and development.” CTBY: CHINA TRAVEL BIOGRAPHY
