Fengpu Bridge, Road bridge in Shanghai, China
Fengpu Bridge is a road viaduct crossing the Huangpu River and linking Minhang District with Fengxian District as part of the Shanghai-Jinshan Expressway. The structure carries multiple lanes of traffic in each direction and serves as a major throughway for the city's transportation network.
The bridge was completed in 1995, marking a turning point in Shanghai's infrastructure development. It provided the first direct and efficient road link across the Huangpu River between the southwestern districts of the city.
The bridge connects established urban neighborhoods with growing outlying areas, shaping how residents move between different parts of their city. It represents how modern Shanghai relies on these river crossings to function as a unified metropolis.
The viaduct is a major expressway where traffic moves quickly during off-peak hours but experiences congestion during typical rush periods in morning and evening. Crossing it is best experienced when traffic is lighter.
The Huangpu River flowing beneath carries large cargo ships moving through the heart of Shanghai in a continuous stream of maritime commerce. Drivers crossing above can see this constant flow of vessel traffic, which reveals the city's enduring role as a major trading port.
