Qingdao Haiwan Bridge, Highway toll bridge across Jiaozhou Bay in Qingdao, China
The Qingdao Haiwan Bridge is a prestressed concrete highway bridge that spans approximately 41.6 kilometers across Jiaozhou Bay. The structure contains multiple traffic lanes and connects several districts on opposite shores through a continuous roadway.
The bridge was built to directly connect the two shores of Jiaozhou Bay and reduce travel distances between districts. Its construction during the 2000s represented a major infrastructure development for the region.
The bridge represents a significant advancement in Chinese engineering, with its design incorporating suspension bridges and cable-stayed sections spanning the waters of Jiaozhou Bay.
The bridge enables fast crossings between eastern and western shores without reliance on ferry services. Visitors should know that this is a toll road primarily designed for vehicle traffic, not for pedestrians or cyclists.
More than 5,000 foundation piles were installed in marine conditions during construction, a record for a single project of this type. This technical achievement demonstrates the complexity of building infrastructure across water in this region.
