$350,000,000 ‘bridge to nowhere’ connecting China and North Korea shows signs of life after years of decay

This $350 million ‘bridge to nowhere’ between China and North Korea might finally be reaching, well, somewhere, after being left unfinished for years.

Completely funded by the Chinese government, this project began construction back in 2014 to the tune of $350 million.

The bridge, which stretches across the Yalu River, hasn’t been touched since 2019, leaving it unfinished.

But now, it looks as if the project is picking up steam again.

This bridge to nowhere was inactive for years, but now there may be signs of life

To say that China took the lead on this project would be an understatement.

Not only was the country funding it entirely, but it even built a new city on its side of the river.

But things were quiet on the North Korea side, with barely any work being done.

Thanks to financial constraints, resource shortages, and other factors like the COVID-19 Pandemic, this bridge hasn’t seen much activity for years.

The North Korean side of the bridge ended up becoming open land, with farmers drying their crops on the unused roadway.

It looked as if the bridge to nowhere was going to stay that way.

But now, it looks like there’s been some resumed activity, according to reports and satellite imagery.

There’s been some significant progress at port-of-entry sites and road works, meaning the bridge could be operational by the end of 2026.

If this does come to pass, it would boost trade between the two nations.

There’s a lot we don’t know about North Korea

On the world stage, North Korea is regarded as something of an oddity.

The East Asian country is closed off, with not many outsiders being able to visit and see it for themselves.

As such, there are many things we don’t know about the country.

But what we do know has been fascinating, if not eye-opening.

For example, there’s the strange case of North Korea’s airline.

Then there was this guy who got his hands on two North Korean smartphones that had been smuggled out.

And lest we forget the country’s venture into cars, aka the fake Mercedes.
