The Institute is located in Shengli West Road, Wuhu City. The water area under the jurisdiction of the ferry is over/kloc-0,000 meters long, with an area of/kloc-0.995 million square meters, a construction area of 5,822 square meters and total fixed assets of 4 1.88 million yuan.

After the founding of New China, the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was first completed and opened to traffic at 1957+00, and the Wuhan train ferry stopped. Today, Wuhu train ferry terminal moved from Wuhan. 1968 In September, Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge was completed and opened to traffic, and Nanjing train ferry was shut down. Since then, Wuhu train ferry has become the Yangtze River and the only train ferry on the inland river of China. Wuhu train ferry crosses the river 1 10,000 times a year and transports more than 300,000 trains, which still cannot meet the needs. On September 30, 2000, Wuhu Yangtze River Bridge was completed and opened to traffic, and Wuhu train ferry also completed its mission. Wuyu first ferry is a simple ferry, which was surveyed and designed by the Fourth Research Institute of Railway and broke ground on August 1958+00. Anhui Provincial Ethnic Affairs Commission, Wuhu Society and Wuhu Municipal Ethnic Affairs Commission mobilized all sectors of society to support ferry construction. There are 74 construction units, including 9 railway units/kloc-0, and 55 provincial, prefectural and municipal local enterprises, engineering units, universities and other units, with the number of participants reaching 1.5 million at the peak. Wuhu area and relevant municipal units organize piles, sleepers and other needed materials, process all kinds of urgently needed steel, and concentrate vehicles to transport wood and stone; The railway department supports railway tracks, steel and cement, and ensures building materials. In terms of construction technology, all units have sent engineers and technicians to personally command. In the dike-breaking and sluice-building project, Anhui Provincial Water Resources Department sent engineers to guide the construction of sluice and dike reinforcement project. Wuhu area construction company mobilized two-thirds of the construction force to undertake the task of building the gate; Wuhu Port Construction No.2 Bureau prefabricated and drove cement piles for the project; Wuchang ferry section supports dredgers and tugboats.

During the construction of the ferry project, President Mao Zedong asked about the progress of the ferry when he visited Anhui in September. 1958 was concerned about the ferry construction. Ceng Xisheng, the first secretary of Anhui Provincial Party Committee, visited Wuhu twice to inspect the ferry project. The agency and the Municipal People's Committee also sent responsible persons to personally grasp the progress of the project. Thanks to the strong support of all parties, the progress of the ferry project was accelerated, and the ferry project was completed in only 80 days. The north and south banks will build trestle piers with high, medium and low water levels respectively. 1958165438+1A navigation ceremony was held at Nan 'an Wharf on October 30th. Ding Renyi, deputy secretary of Wuhu Municipal Committee, cut the ribbon for the maiden voyage.

Second round

Due to the simple facilities and low capacity of Wuyu first ferry, it is impossible to ferry passenger trains and meet the needs of railway transportation development. /kloc-in the winter of 0/959, the Ministry of Railways decided to build a new train ferry with a trestle with remote control lifting equipment on the upper reaches of the first ferry, namely Wuyuer Ferry. The "Anhui Yangtze River Ferry Project Command" composed of the Academy of Iron Sciences, the local government and the railway is responsible for the construction, the Bridge Bureau undertakes the main project of the trestle, and the Bengbu Railway Bureau is responsible for the cross-strait railway line and freight yard project. The station project started in March, 1960, and the trestle started in May of the same year. At the end of the year, the piling work of trestle foundation was completed. The construction of Erdu Wuhu Wharf affected the use of Yidu high-grade wharf, so it was decided to change the original medium-grade wharf with three holes 16m steel plate girder into medium-grade wharf. The reconstruction project started in February of 196 1, and the navigation was completed in April of the same year. 196 1 May, the trestle bridge project was handed over to Bengbu Railway Bureau for construction. Later, because the country shortened the capital construction front, it failed to continue construction.

1September, 973, the "headquarters" was cancelled, and the "Shanghai Railway Bureau Engineering Corps Wuyu Ferry Project Construction Headquarters" was established by Shanghai Railway Bureau to organize the construction. 1May, 976, the "Headquarters" was changed to the leader of Wuhu Office of Shanghai Railway Bureau. Wuhu office/KLOC-0 was abolished at the end of 979, and the "headquarters" was changed to the leader of the engineering department of Shanghai Railway Bureau. 198 1 Continue the ferry and complete the first phase of the project on May 25th 1985.
