The Liuwu Bridge (Chinese: 柳梧大桥; pinyin: Liǔ wú dàqiáo} crosses the Lhasa River linking downtown Lhasa, Tibet to Lhasa railway station and Niu New Area on the south bank. It was built in conjunction with the Qinghai–Tibet Railway, which terminates on the south side of the river, and provides a connection to the town center on the north side.
