Second Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, Cable-stayed road bridge in Wuhan, China.
Description
The Second Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge is a cable-stayed structure that spans approximately 1,876 meters across the river. Two tall towers support the roadway through a system of angled cables that distribute the weight evenly.
History
Construction began in 1991 and the bridge opened to traffic in 1995, representing a major infrastructure milestone for the city. This connection significantly improved transportation between the three districts that were previously less accessible to each other.
Culture
The bridge connects three Wuhan districts that developed distinct characteristics over time. Today it serves as a physical link between these neighborhoods and how people move between them in daily life.
Practical
The bridge carries vehicle traffic and offers views of the river from above during crossing. The best way to experience it is to walk along the pedestrian path or cross during daytime to see the river and surroundings clearly.
Did you know?
The structure was expanded to add more traffic lanes years after opening to accommodate growing vehicle volumes. This modification demonstrates how the infrastructure evolved to meet the changing needs of the city.
