The New Yalu River Bridge (Chinese: 新鸭绿江大桥), or Korea-China Amnok River Bridge (Korean: 조중압록강다리), is a road bridge across the Amnok River between Dandong, Liaoning Province, China, and Sinuiju, North Korea. The cable-stayed bridge, which is 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) long including the supporting roads, is intended as a replacement for the Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge.[1] Construction began in October 2011[2] and is mostly complete and connected with Xingdan Road, but the project stalled between 2014 and 2019, with work unfinished on the North Korean side.[3][4] By 2021, construction on the North Korean side has been mostly completed, with the bridge being expected to open soon.[5]
