The Anqing Yangtze River Railway Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge opened over the Yangtze River near Anqing, Anhui, China. The bridge has a main span of 580 metres (1,900 ft),[1] making it the longest cable-stayed railway bridge in the world. The bridge carries two rail tracks on the high-speed Nanjing–Anqing Intercity Railway line. It significantly reduces the rail travel time between Nanjing and Anqing from eight hours to just 90 minutes.[2]
