Queshi Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Shantou, China.
Description
Queshi Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge spanning Shantou Harbor with six lanes for traffic flowing between districts. The structure stretches across the water with cables supporting its main span and provides adequate clearance for vessels passing below.
History
The bridge's construction was initiated in the early 1990s as part of efforts to improve Shantou's infrastructure and connections across the harbor. Its opening marked a turning point in how the city accessed its different waterfront areas and surrounding districts.
Culture
The bridge links different parts of the city and is woven into daily life as fishing boats and cargo ships pass beneath it. It shows how Shantou has organized its waterfront and connects communities on either side.
Practical
The bridge carries heavy traffic during peak hours and is easiest to cross during quieter times of day. Walking paths along the structure offer views of the harbor and surrounding water, though crossing it as a pedestrian takes some time.
Did you know?
The main span stretches considerably far, making it one of the longer cable-stayed structures built during that era. This design allows large cargo ships and fishing vessels to pass underneath without interference while traffic flows above.
