Edong Yangtze River Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Huangshi, Hubei Province, China.
The Edong Yangtze River Bridge is a concrete cable-stayed structure measuring 1,486 meters in total length with a main span of 926 meters across the Yangtze River.
Constructed between 2008 and 2010, the bridge was inaugurated on September 28, 2010, and ranked as the fourth longest cable-stayed bridge globally at completion.
The bridge carries the G45 Daqing–Guangzhou, G50 Shanghai–Chongqing and Fuyin expressways on a shared river crossing, linking Huangshi with Xishui County. Its name places it in eastern Hubei, and the two white pylons, each with legs forming an inverted V, are the feature drivers watch for on the approach.
The bridge carries the G45 Daqing–Guangzhou, G50 Shanghai–Chongqing and G70 Fuzhou–Yinchuan expressways over the Yangtze, linking Huangshi with Xishui County. Its 5,886 m bridge section includes a 1,486 m main bridge; the deck is a flat roadway with light edge barriers between white pylons.
The bridge carries three expressway designations at once: the G45 Daqing–Guangzhou, the G50 Shanghai–Chongqing and the G35 Fuzhou–Yinchuan routes share this crossing. Its 926 m main span made it the world's fourth longest cable-stayed span when it opened in 2010. The total project cost 3.1934 billion yuan.
