The third bridge crossing the Ulan Mulun River in the Kangbashi district of the city of Ordos officially opened to traffic on June 23.

The bridge is 348 meters long and has a double-wing shaped structure that looks like a Kunpeng (Chinese mythical bird) spreading its wings from a distance. 

It is the first large-span double-wing landscape bridge in China.

The bridge has three lanes each in both directions and has traffic lights. Both sides of the bridge have non-motor vehicle lanes and special pedestrian lanes.

Construction of the bridge started in June 2019. 

The new bridge is expected to ease traffic congestion between Kangbashi district and Ejin Horoo Banner.
