Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province, is often called the "City of Bridges". Among the many bridges that cross the Yangtze River, Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge is the most famous one. It was completed in 1957 and was the first bridge ever built over the Yangtze River. Before it was built, people and goods had to be transported across the river by ship, which was not only time-consuming but also dangerous during floods.
The bridge was designed by Chinese engineers with the help of Soviet experts. ★
The upper level is used for cars and pedestrians, while the lower level is used for trains. Over the past sixty years, the bridge has been repaired many times to keep it safe. Today, it is still considered one of the busiest and most important bridges in China.
Interestingly, the bridge was once painted with a special kind of paint that was developed by local scientists. This paint was designed to protect the steel structure from rusting(生锈) in Wuhan's hot and rainy weather. Thanks to this invention, the bridge has remained in good condition for a much longer time than expected.
In recent years, more modern bridges have been built across the Yangtze River, such as the Yingwuzhou Yangtze River Bridge and the Yangsigang Yangtze River Bridge. These new bridges were constructed using more advanced technology. However, Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge is still deeply loved by local people. It is often proudly called "the First Bridge of the Yangtze River". Every year, thousands of tourists visit it and take photos. The bridge is not only a symbol of Wuhan's past but also a living example of Chinese engineering spirit.
