Bridge value

The traffic artery composed of Jianghan bridge and Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge connects the three towns of Wuhan into a whole, completely changing the backward situation of relying on water transportation only among the three towns in the past, driving the great development of Commerce, tourism and other undertakings in the surrounding areas, and making great contributions to promoting the exchanges among the three towns of Wuhan and forming a new urban landscape Contribution. In recent years, the connection of the inner ring road makes the bridge an irreplaceable throat on the inner ring road. After more than 40 years of ups and downs, Jianghan No.1 Bridge is still responsible for the smooth transportation and plays its own mission for the economic development of Wuhan.
