North Korea has completed construction on its side of the New Yalu River Bridge, a border crossing with China expected to become the main road cargo point between the two countries, facilitating increased trade volume and easing congestion on existing crossings.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new trade route that bypasses old city bottlenecks between North Korea and China. Prepare for shifts in logistics and customs handling as this crossing will become the primary corridor for road cargo.
