Yangpu Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Shanghai, China
The Yangpu Bridge extends 8,354 meters across the Huangpu River with twin towers reaching 223 meters into the Shanghai skyline.
The bridge construction started in April 1991 and required two years and five months to complete, opening for traffic in October 1993.
Each main tower displays Deng Xiaoping's handwritten inscription of the bridge name, connecting traditional Chinese calligraphy with modern engineering.
The structure carries six traffic lanes and includes two-meter-wide sidewalks on both sides, serving over 100,000 vehicles daily.
The bridge's 602-meter main span held the world record for longest cable-stayed bridge span from 1993 until 1995.
