The Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, which was built in 1968, has a clearance height of 24 meters in the high water area and can theoretically carry ships of up to 3,000 tons  In today's rapid economic development, it has become a building that cuts the Yangtze River in half and obstructs the smooth passage of large ships
The Nanjing Yangtze Bridge must be demolished and rebuilt if the Yangtze's golden waterway is to be fully dredged, a bridge expert has asserted
It was not enough to demolish the Nanjing Bridge alone. The Yangtze River Bridges built in Wuhu, Tongling, Anqing and other places had a headroom height of 24 meters.
