Yangtze River power line crossings

There are at least three power line crossings on the Yangtze River at Jiangyin, Nanjing, and Wuhu.

The power line section running over the river has a span width of 2,303 m (7,556 ft).

A dual circuit, 500 kV AC overhead powerline crosses the Yangtze River at Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China, built in 1992.

The HVDC Three Gorges-Changzhou powerline crosses the Yangtze River near Wuhu, Anhui Province, China, at 31°30′2″N 118°22′11″E / 31.50056°N 118.36972°E / 31.50056; 118.36972 and 31°30′37″N 118°21′11″E / 31.51028°N 118.35306°E / 31.51028; 118.35306.

The crossing consists of two 229 m (751 ft) tall pylons built as constructions of tubular steel, which carry two conductors.

Close to it, there is a 500 kV AC powerline crossing with a span width of 1,960 m (6,430 ft) on probably taller towers and a 110 kV AC powerline crossing with a span width of 1,410 m (4,626 ft).
