New Yalu River Bridge Between North Korea and China Officially Opens 12 Years After Completion

The New Yalu River Bridge connecting Dandong in China's Liaoning Province and Sinuiju in North Korea's North Pyongan Province has officially opened 12 years after its completion.

The bridge, which features four lanes in both directions and a total length of 3,026 meters, was completed by China in 2014 at a cost of approximately 2.2 billion yuan, equivalent to about 440 billion won.

Since then, official passage had been delayed due to reasons such as the lack of connection roads and customs inspection facilities on the North Korean side.
