Shanghai-Nantong Yangtze River Bridge
The Nantong-Shanghai Railway is an important project of Jiangsu province's coastal development strategy. The Shanghai-Nantong Yangtze River Bridge will become another world-leading river passage connecting Nantong with Shanghai and southern Jiangsu after the Su-tong Yangtze River Expressway Bridge. Meanwhile, the bridge functions with the intercity high-speed railway to shorten the drive from Nantong to Shanghai to about 38 minutes.
