Wuhan Baishazhou Yangtze River Bridge

The Baishazhou Yangtze River Bridge extends 3,586 meters across the Yangtze River with a main span of 618 meters and reaches a height of 175 meters.

The construction of this major infrastructure project began in January 2000 and reached completion in September of the same year, marking a significant advancement in Chinese engineering.

The bridge takes its name from Baisha Zhou, the White Sand Island that lies beneath its expansive structure, connecting different districts of Wuhan across the Yangtze River.

This six-lane bridge functions as part of the Wuhan Third Ring Road, accommodating 50,000 vehicles daily and reducing traffic congestion between the eastern and western sections of the city.

The total construction investment reached 380 million dollars, resulting in a bridge that spans 28.5 meters in width and incorporates advanced engineering solutions for the regional transportation network.
