Once the bridge became operational, the commute between the two locations was reduced from approximately four and a half hours to only two.
The Danyang–Kunshan Grand Bridge, roughly 31 meters off the ground, signified a major engineering milestone for the country. Constructing a bridge of such scale would've been no mean feat, especially when you consider the challenge of building it across varying terrain.
