Qiantang River Bridge, Double-decker transport bridge in Hangzhou, China.

The Qiantang River Bridge spans 1,072 meters across the river with 16 spans featuring a two-tier truss design for vehicles and trains.

Engineer Mao Yisheng designed this structure, which opened on September 29, 1937, and survived a planned demolition during the Battle of Shanghai.

The bridge received recognition as a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level for its engineering contributions to Chinese infrastructure.

The upper deck carries motor vehicles while the lower level accommodates railway traffic, connecting different sections of Hangzhou across the Qiantang River.

Engineers from Dorman Long constructed this bridge using advanced engineering methods that allowed it to withstand the strong tidal bores of the Qiantang River.
