SEOUL, Oct. 24 (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has arrived in China's border city of Dandong via a newly opened bridge linking the two nations, a government source said Saturday.

The government source told Yonhap News Agency that Kim arrived in Dandong through the bridge across the Amnok River, also known as the Yalu River in China.

Kim "arrived in Dandong, in China's Liaoning Province, via the New Amnok River Bridge," the source said.

The bridge, which links North Korea's border city of Sinuiju with China's Dandong, was opened this month after 12 years of completion, highlighting its potential to strengthen economic ties between Pyongyang and Beijing.

The four-lane bridge, stretching 3,026 meters, was completed in 2014 with an investment of about US$310 million from China. Its opening had been delayed for 12 years due to North Korea's failure, if not refusal, to complete building connecting roads and customs facilities on its side.

首尔，10月24日（韩联社）——一位政府消息人士周六表示，朝鲜领导人金正恩已通过连接两国的一座新开通的大桥抵达中国边境城市丹东。

政府消息人士告诉韩联社，金正恩是通过横跨鸭绿江（在中国也被称为鸭绿江）的大桥抵达丹东的。

消息人士称，金正恩“经由新鸭绿江大桥抵达中国辽宁省丹东市”。

连接朝鲜边境城市新义州和中国丹东的大桥在历经 12 年建成后于本月正式通车，凸显了其加强平壤和北京之间经济联系的潜力。

这座四车道大桥全长3026米，于2014年竣工，中国投资约3.1亿美元。由于朝鲜未能（甚至拒绝）在其境内完成连接道路和海关设施的建设，该桥的通车被推迟了12年。
