In May, Hubei province boasts blue skies and lush fields. The already completed main part of Jingzhou Yangtze River Highway-Railway Bridge (also known as Gong'an Yangtze River Bridge) stretches across the river, connecting Jiangling on the south and Gong'an on the north. As the longest one of its kinds around the world, the bridge extends 6,317 meters with the main span of 518 meters. It consumes 25,000 tons of steel with 10,000 tons (40%) provided by Qinhuangdao Shouqin Metal Materials Co., Ltd.

 As the first heavy haul railway bridge spanning the Yangtze River in China and the first essential main project that has achieved a breakthrough for the Mengxi-Central China coal transport channel, the bridge connects the two counties of Jinzhou City, Jiangling and Gong'an. On the upper level of the Bridge stretches a two-way six-lane highway, and on the lower level extends a double-track heavy haul railway. It consumes steel 1 time than that of Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge with the designed load of 10,000 tons, which is sufficient to support four Eiffel Towers, enabling the bridge with highway and railway to boast the heaviest load in the world. The construction of the bridge commenced in December 2012, and it is expected to be completed and put into use in May next year.
