CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- Chongqing is a city surrounded by two rivers, so bridges here provide an important means for people’s trip. Recently, two bridges in Chongqing have become newly popular attractions. Rails cross over Egongyan Bridge and Egongyan Rail Transit Bridge on the Yangtze River every day, accompanying people through 12 two-hour periods.

During Maoshi (the period of the day from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m.), night and dawn alternate and the city wakes up. At Chongqing Yucai Secondary School, street lamps are still lit up with more and more vehicles passing by. In the meantime, the sky is turning bright in the east, which means that daybreak is approaching.

During Chenshi (the period of the day from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.), when all people in the city begin to work for their living, main urban districts in Chongqing usher in the morning peak. Egongyan Bridge is a critical channel connecting Jiulongpo District and Nan’an District, on which a large number of vehicles are moving slowly. Besides it, workers start to construct Egongyan Rail Transit Bridge, which is expected to be completed within 2019.

During Sishi (the period of the day from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.), workers on the bridge still work on the construction. The temperature in July in Chongqing rises as time goes by. Egongyan Rail Transit Bridge is built 70m upstream of Egongyan Bridge, with a total length of 1650.5m. Its main span of 600m is the longest of its kind in the world. In the future, it will become a key section of Chongqing Rail Transit Loop Line.
