Qingchuan Bridge, bridge in Wuhan

Qingchuan Bridge is an arch bridge over the Han River in Wuhan, linking Jijiazui in Qiaokou District with Nan'anzui in Hanyang District. Its total length is 989.75 metres, with a main span of 280 metres, four traffic lanes and pedestrian walkways. The red arch gives it the name Rainbow Bridge.

Construction began in December 1997 and was completed in the year 2000, after which the bridge opened to traffic. The structure was originally toll-based, but with the introduction of modern electronic toll systems, the toll booths were eventually removed.

Locals call it the Rainbow Bridge for its red arch, and it stands where the Han River meets the Yangtze. Its provisional name was Third Jianghan Bridge, and it is the fourth road bridge over the Han in Wuhan. The bridge links Jijiazui in Qiaokou District with Nan'anzui in Hanyang District.

The bridge carries four lanes of traffic plus pedestrian walkways, linking Yanhe Avenue in Hankou with Hannan Road in Hanyang, right where the Han meets the Yangtze. The toll plaza was demolished after Wuhan switched to electronic toll collection, so crossing is now free of booths. Walkers can use the sidewalks for the river-confluence view.

The bridge's provisional name was Third Jianghan Bridge, and its red arch earned it the nickname Rainbow Bridge. It once collected tolls, but after Wuhan introduced electronic toll collection the toll plaza was demolished, so crossing is now free.
