This was the first modern river crossing at this location and is still known as "The First Bridge", It was built under the direction of Russian engineers using Chinese materials and construction crews. Before this was available, railroad trains would be barged across the river, taking up to an entire day to cross.

This bridge carries two tracks of railroad below and four lanes of vehicular traffic above and joins Snake Hill with its Yellow Crane Tower on the South to Turtle Hill on the North, here to our right.
