Qingdao Haiwan Bridge, Highway toll bridge across Jiaozhou Bay in Qingdao, China
The Qingdao Haiwan Bridge extends 41.58 kilometers across Jiaozhou Bay, incorporating eight traffic lanes and connecting the districts of Huangdao, Chengyang, and Licang.
Construction began in December 2006 with completion of the main bridge section in December 2010, requiring 450,000 tons of steel and 2.3 million cubic meters of concrete.
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 reduced travel time between the eastern and western shores from 90 minutes to 10 minutes, eliminating the need for ferry services affected by weather conditions.
Engineers installed 5,127 bridge foundation piles in marine conditions during construction, setting a world record for the number of marine drilling piles in a single project.
