经过12年的建设，连接中国丹东和朝鲜新义州的新鸭绿江大桥正式开通。12这座桥梁全长3026米，采用双向四车道设计，由中国斥资约22亿元人民币兴建。2大桥将成为两国贸易的主要陆路通道，促进双边经贸往来和人员交流。12
该项目原定于2014年启用，但因朝鲜方面连接道路和口岸设施建设滞后而无限期推迟。2中国总理李强在开通仪式上表示，大桥开通象征中朝传统友谊的新地标，并强调"无论国际形势如何变化，中国党和政府高度重视中朝传统友好的坚定立场不会改变"。2大桥的重启反映了近期中朝关系的改善，双方已于今年3月恢复直飞航班和客运列车服务，去年双边贸易额达27亿美元，恢复至疫情前水平。1
China and North Korea have inaugurated a new bridge spanning the Yalu River, connecting the Chinese city of Dandong with North Korea's Sinuiju after more than a decade of postponement.12 The bridge stretches 3,026 meters and serves as a four-lane, two-way highway crossing built at a cost of approximately 2.2 billion yuan by China.2 The original main structure was completed in 2014, but the opening was indefinitely delayed due to North Korea's lagging construction of connecting roads and customs facilities.2
Chinese Premier Li Qiang attended the opening ceremony and stated that the bridge will strengthen bilateral trade cooperation and facilitate people-to-people exchanges while symbolizing the friendship between the two nations.2 Li remarked that "regardless of how the international situation changes, China's Party and government's resolute position on valuing the traditional friendship with North Korea will not change."2 The bridge is expected to become a primary land trade corridor between the two countries at a time when bilateral trade reached 2.7 billion dollars last year, recovering to pre-pandemic levels.1
The bridge's opening reflects warming ties between Beijing and Pyongyang following recent developments including President Xi Jinping's June state visit to North Korea and the resumption of direct flights and passenger rail services in March.1
