According to the Bank’s website, the Project will provide an additional Yangtze River crossing channel to meet increasing traffic demand and alleviate congestion on the existing bridge that supports the G3 Expressway, which runs from the north to south of China, and planned railway routes.

The Project will be in Tongling City, Anhui Province, and involves the construction of:

  • a two-way six-lane expressway and ancillary facilities (i.e. a toll station, a service area centre, a maintenance work area and other related service and safety facilities) on the upper deck,
  • infrastructure to support four railway tracks. on the lower deck
  • approaching roads, starting in Huayuan village and ending in Minzhu village, which will connect to the bridge.

The bridge will be the world’s first road-rail layered cable-stayed suspension bridge, to use cross section stay cables and slings. The Project will utilise the latest technology to shorten the construction period and reduce the impact thereof on the environment.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF NEW DEVELOPMENT BANK

The New Development Bank (NDB) does not currently have an independent accountability mechanism to accept complaints related to NDB-financed projects. The Bank does have a whistleblower mechanism that receives complaints about misconduct related to corruption, fraudulent practices and instances of money laundering in projects financed by the NDB and/or against the NDB staff members. To learn more about the whistleblower mechanism and how to file a complaint, access this webpage at: https://www.ndb.int/about-us/whistleblowing
