The Tumen Border Bridge is a bridge over the Tumen River, connecting Tumen City, Jilin Province, China, with Namyang, Onsong County, North Hamgyong Province, North Korea.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]It was built in 1941 by the Japanese. During the Korean War, it was one of the border posts from which the Chinese People's Volunteer Army entered North Korea.[2] A parallel, larger bridge is under construction since 2016.[3] The new bridge was completed in 2019.[4][5] In 2025, China built a symbolic gate resembling a triumphal arch in front of the bridge.[6]
Description
[edit | edit source]The bridge is 515 metres long, 6 metres high, 6 metres wide. Tumen Border Post is located there. A little upstream from the bridge is Tumen Border Railway Bridge.
