Wuhan Baishazhou Yangtze River Bridge, Cable-stayed road bridge in Wuhan, China.
Description
The Baishazhou Yangtze River Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge crossing the Yangtze River with six lanes for traffic. Tall pylons support the main span above the water, with the roadway wide enough to carry vehicles side by side across the river.
History
Construction started in January 2000 and finished in September of that year, showing how rapidly large projects were completed at the time. The completed bridge became an important link in Wuhan's road network, helping to improve traffic flow between different parts of the city.
Culture
The bridge takes its name from the White Sand Island that lies beneath it, linking different neighborhoods on opposite banks. People walking or cycling across notice the river views and the way the structure frames the landscape around them.
Practical
The bridge functions as part of Wuhan's Third Ring Road with clear lane markings and signage for easy orientation. Pedestrian and bicycle paths are separated from vehicle traffic, making it safe to cross on foot or by bike.
Did you know?
The bridge was built with an investment of 380 million dollars, incorporating advanced engineering solutions to span the wide river. The rapid construction pace and project complexity make it a notable example of how Chinese infrastructure was developed during that period.
