Zhixi Yangtze River Bridge

The Zhixi Yangtze River Bridge extends 3,234.7 meters across the Yangtze River with a central span measuring 838 meters and a width of 33.5 meters.

The construction of this transportation link began in February 1998 and continued through multiple phases until its completion and inauguration in September 2016.

The bridge strengthens connections between communities along the Yangtze River, supporting the movement of people and goods across the waterway in Hubei Province.

The structure carries traffic on the G50 Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway, providing an essential crossing point approximately 20 kilometers downstream from central Yichang.

The construction project required an investment of 895 million yuan to create this engineering achievement that spans one of China's most substantial waterways.
