建成于1968年的南京长江大桥是长江上第一座由中国设计师设计的公铁两用大桥。它也是中国此类桥中最长的一座。从远处看上去，整座大桥像是水上的一道壮丽彩虹。它是游客到南京旅游必参观的地方。

The bridge is divided into two stories, the upper which is used as highway, and the lower railway level. The highway is 4,589 m (15,056 ft) long, and 15 m (49 ft) wide, allowing 4 large-sized cars to run parallel. There is a footway with a width of over 2 meters (6.6 ft) on either side of the highway. The railway, being 6,772 m (22,218 ft) long and 14 m (46 ft) wide, allows two trains to run simultaneously in opposite directions. The bridge has 9 piers and 10 openings. The openings of the main bridge span 160 m (525 ft), with a highest height of 85 m (279 ft). Under the bridge huge vessels of 10,000 tons (22 million pounds) are able to pass through.
大桥分成两层，上层是作为公路使用，下层是铁路。公路长4589米（15056英尺），宽15米（49英尺），可容4辆大型汽车并行。公路两侧各有2米（6.6英尺）多宽的人行道。铁路桥长6772米（22218英尺），宽14米（46英尺），两列火车可同时对开。桥上有9个墩10个孔。主桥的墩与墩之间的跨度为160米（525英尺），桥墩最高高度为85米（279英尺）。1万吨（2200万磅）的大型船舶可以从桥下通过。

On both banks of the river are twin bridge towers, which are equipped with elevators leading to the railway bridge, highway bridge and the top observation post. The bridge is also decorated with hundreds of relievos and thousands of different kinds of lights, which make the bridge even more spectacular in the night. In addition, below the southern bridge tower is a scenic park, and an exhibition hall for visitors to learn about the history of the bridge.
江的两岸有一对桥头堡，桥头堡装有电梯，通向铁路桥、公路桥和顶部的观测哨。大桥还装饰着几百幅浮雕和几千盏不同类型的灯，这使得大桥在晚上看起来更加壮观。另外，大桥南岸底下有一个景色优美的公园和一个供游客了解大桥历史的展览厅。
