China is set to begin construction of a bridge which will cross the Tumen river between North Korea and China, Yonhap reported on Friday, citing Chinese state media.
The 804-meter long bridge, entirely funded by Chinese authorities at a cost of 21.9 million dollars, will connect the Chinese border town Tumen with Chongjin, on North Korea’s northwestern coast.
Construction is already underway of a second bridge connecting Dandun with Sinuiju, spanning three kilometers across the Yalu river, Itar-Tass reported in April.
Construction of the Dandong-Sinuiju link is planned to wrap up in December
