The New Yalu River Bridge, connecting Dandong in China's Liaoning Province with Sinuiju in North Korea's North Pyongan Province, will officially open.


China's state-run Xinhua News Agency reported on October 14 that "the newly built New Yalu River Bridge will officially open on October 15 following consultations between China and North Korea," adding that "a joint opening ceremony is scheduled for the same day."



The New Yalu River Bridge is a 3,026-meter-long, four-lane bridge. It was completed in 2014, but traffic was delayed due to factors including incomplete access roads and customs facilities on the North Korean side. It will now officially open, 12 years later.
