Egongyan Bridge, Suspension bridge in Chongqing, China

Egongyan Bridge is a suspension bridge over the Yangtze in Chongqing with a main span of 600 m and side spans of 211 m each, forming a three-span continuous steel box girder floating system. The bridge proper is 1,412 m long and 35.5 m wide, carrying eight lanes of the Chengdu–Chongqing and Chongqing–Guizhou expressway corridor. Its deck was widened from six to eight lanes in 2013.

The Egongyan Bridge opened in 2000 with a 600-metre main span, built as part of the east-west expressway linking the Chenjiaping end of the Chengdu-Chongqing expressway, via Dagongguan and Xiejiawan, to Sigongli in Nan'an and the Chongqing-Guizhou expressway. Its main bridge is a three-span floating steel box girder suspension bridge of 211 + 600 + 211 metres, designed by the Shanghai Municipal Engineering Design Institute and built by the Chongqing Bridge Engineering Company among others. From 10 August to 7 December 2013 a 120-day project removed the pedestrian walkways and two reserved light-rail lanes to widen the deck to eight lanes.

The name comes from Egongyan, the goose-shaped rock outcrop on the riverbank that the crossing is named after; "Egong" refers to a gander and "yan" to a crag. The bridge carries the name of that landmark rather than of a district or an engineer.

The crossing accommodates eight lanes for vehicle traffic and serves as a daily route for commuters and travelers. A parallel transit option provides an alternative for pedestrians and public transportation users.

The deck carries eight lanes after a 120-day widening from August to December 2013, when the pedestrian walkways and two reserved light-rail strips were removed. Walkers regained a crossing in 2019 via the Egongyan Rail Transit Bridge upstream. The main span rests on a floating steel box girder system of 211 + 600 + 211 metres.
