Wufengshan Yangtze River Bridge

The Wufengshan Yangtze River Bridge extends 6,409 meters across the river with a main span of 1,092 meters and rises 203 meters above the water.

Construction of the bridge started in October 2015 after decades of planning, with earlier attempts in the 1960s halted due to technical limitations.

The bridge embodies Chinese engineering advancement as it connects multiple regions of Jiangsu Province, supporting the movement of people and goods across the Yangtze River.

The structure accommodates both a four-lane railway system designed for 250 kilometers per hour and an eight-lane expressway for vehicles traveling at 100 kilometers per hour.

Each main cable of the bridge contains 352 strands and measures 1,300 millimeters in diameter, making them the largest suspension bridge cables in the world.
