Sutong Yangtze River Bridge

The Sutong Yangtze River Bridge extends 32.4 kilometers across the Yangtze River, featuring a double-tower steel box girder design with six traffic lanes.

Construction began in 2003, with engineers completing the main bridge connection in 2007, eighteen months ahead of the initial schedule.

The bridge design incorporates specific elements for marine navigation, accommodating vessels up to 50,000 tons through its 891-meter-wide navigation channel.

The bridge operates with differential toll rates: small vehicles pay 30 yuan, medium-sized passenger vehicles 40 yuan, and large passenger vehicles 60 yuan.

The structure holds multiple engineering records, including a 1,088-meter main span and 306-meter-high towers constructed with advanced concrete materials.
