The Fifth Yangtze River Bridge in Nanjing is also known as the Meizizhou River Crossing Channel. Many people may be unfamiliar with the name Meizizhou. In fact, it is Jiangxinzhou. According to the plan, the Fifth Yangtze River Bridge is located about 5 kilometers downstream of the Third Yangtze River Bridge. , 13 kilometers upstream of the South Yangtze River Bridge, crossing the main channel of the Yangtze River and landing at Jiangxinzhou.
At first, there was great controversy over whether to use a bridge or a tunnel during the construction of the bridge. Some people believed that the construction of the bridge on the golden waterway of the Yangtze River would affect the navigation of the Yangtze River waterway.
At present, there are more than 60 bridges on the Yangtze River in my country. So many bridges have affected shipping, but tunnels do not have such problems. Moreover, there are many birds that inhabit Jiangxinzhou Lushuiwan Wetland Park. Once the bridge is built, these bird habitats will be greatly damaged. After many investigations and verifications, the final five bridges adopted the bridge-plus-sui mode. The project across the Yangtze River adopted the bridge method, and the project across the Jiajiang River adopted the tunnel method.
After completion, the Fifth Yangtze River Bridge will be an important part connecting the main urban area and Jiangbei New District. It is also an important part of the ring road in Nanjing's high-speed system, and is of great significance to alleviating traffic pressure and developing Jiangbei New District.
After it is completed and opened to traffic in 2020, Nanjing citizens will have another free channel to cross the river. It will be more convenient for residents along the line to commute to get off work

As a cross-river metropolis, Nanjing still has few cross-river passages. It is necessary to further speed up the construction. I actively support the construction of the five bridges and look forward to their early completion and opening to traffic!
I just saw a netizen’s answer, thinking that the bridge number is 123456... is not very good, and I agree with him very much. Numerical numbering, one will make people mix, the other will have no regional characteristics, and the third will have no culture. The digital number can be used internally by the professional management department, but for the public, a special bridge name should be given. This can be learned from the naming of bridges across the Huangpu River in Shanghai. Those bridges all have the word "pu", such as Nanpu Bridge, Xupu Bridge, etc., which are not only catchy, but also easy to remember and recognize. Nanjing can also name the bridges crossing the river in this way, all with the word "jiang", and name them according to the area where each bridge is located and the surrounding geographical, historical and cultural landscape characteristics. The suggestions are as follows:
First Bridge: This bridge is so memorable and symbolic in the history of Chinese bridges and modern history that it will remain named Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge.
The Second Bridge: Close to Yanziji and Xinshengwei, it can be named "Yanjiang Bridge" or "Gangjiang Bridge".
Third Bridge: Close to Banqiao and Dashengguan, it can be named "Banjiang Bridge" or "Shengjiang Bridge".
The Fourth Bridge: Located between Hengliang in the north of the Yangtze River and Qixia Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River, it can be named "Hengjiang Bridge", "Xiajiang Bridge" or "Fengjiang Bridge".
Fifth Bridge: Located in the area between Jiangbei Avenue and Meizizhou, the main road in Pukou District, it can be named "Pujiang Bridge", "Meijiang Bridge", etc.
Other river-crossing bridges follow the same procedure. Cross-river tunnels are named after connecting roads, such as Yingtian Street Cross-river Tunnel, Dinghuaimen Street Cross-river Tunnel, Shangyuanmen Cross-river Tunnel, etc. As a famous historical and cultural city and a famous ancient capital, Nanjing must have its own characteristics in naming various buildings, streets, and bridges. It must be grand and have historical and cultural connotations. It cannot be too casual!
The urban structure of Nanjing is south of the Yangtze River and north of the Yangtze River. The south of the Yangtze River is mainly dominated by old cities, but except for Jiangning, which is now well developed, the inner city of Hexi is dominated by the west of the Qinhuai River, which is also now developed. Very good. The city of Nanjing has an urban structure that is long from north to south and smaller from east to west. Now it is vigorously developing the Zidong area. However, the development of Jiangbei High-tech Zone is mainly due to the lack of cross-river passages. So far, there are only eight cross-river passages. There are the Yangtze River Bridge, the Second Yangtze River Bridge, the Third Bridge, the Fourth Bridge, the Dashengguan Bridge (note that there are subways on both sides of the bridge), Line 3 of the Shangyuanmen Block, the Jiangxin Bridge Crossing Road, and the Yangtze River Crossing Road. etc. Currently under construction are Hongshan Road and Maigao Bridge Crossing River Road, Jianning Road Crossing River Road, and those to be built include Hankou West Road and Shangyuanmen River Crossing Tunnel. From the current Jiangbei High-tech Zone (High-tech Free Trade Zone ) The development of these river-crossing channels is far from enough. We hope that Nanjing will vigorously develop and develop higher and faster.
To build a hydropower station on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, there is no need to build any bridges at all. Just build a provincial highway.
I sincerely hope that Nanjing will plan more cross-river bridges and tunnels, so that Jiangnan and Jiangbei can be integrated together faster, and there will no longer be a sense of distance. Convenient transportation will bring more happiness to the citizens!
Can cross-river passages be increased in densely populated areas, such as Tianrun City, near Venice Water City, and near the Yangtze River Bridge? The population is so dense but there are no increase in cross-river passages. Bridges are always built in places with few people. Are the tunnels intended to allow people in these areas to move to the Five Bridges, or are they intended to raise land prices in remote areas? Therefore, the site selection for building the bridge is promoted by adding more river crossings. In fact, it is to cover up the purpose of raising land prices. It cannot be said that it has no use in facilitating travel, but it is useless.
The 5th Yangtze River Bridge mainly develops the Jiangbei New Area Free Trade Zone. I have lived and worked in Jiangpu for about 12 years and have been selling houses for about 12 years and have witnessed the rapid development of Jiangpu. I am grateful for the government policies that are beneficial to Jiangbei. , I hope Jiangbei New District will get better and better!
The Fifth Bridge has a bridge-tunnel combination, which I personally feel is a pity. The Fifth Bridge connects the river from north to south in the main city, and it would be better to build a tunnel as a whole. Although building a bridge can save some money, there are two disadvantages to building a bridge across the river: First, traffic will be affected in snowy and foggy weather; second, it takes up more land.
Nanjing should open a river-crossing passage from Central Road to the north. Relieving the traffic pressure on the bridge is the top priority
The bridge-tunnel passage plan is a basically reasonable plan. But it cannot fundamentally solve the traffic problem
