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 represents China's rapid infrastructure development in the early 21st century and serves as a symbol of modernization connecting inland cities with coastal regions.

Located on the G45 and G50 expressways at postal code 435002, the bridge connects Huangshi city with Xishui County and accommodates multiple lanes of traffic daily.

The bridge stands approximately 242.5 meters tall, providing ample clearance for river traffic while supporting one of the longest cable-stayed spans in the world.

The longest suspension bridges in the world

This collection gathers bridges that hold world records for span length, defined as the distance between two main pylons. While the longest bridge in the world measures 165 kilometers in China, this refers to the maximum span covered in one continuous structure. These constructions demonstrate engineering achievements in crossing maritime straits, rivers, or valleys without intermediate supports. The Çanakkale Bridge in Turkey crosses the Dardanelles Strait with a span of 2,023 meters, setting the current record for suspension bridges. In Japan, the Akashi Strait Bridge connects Kobe to Awaji Island with a central span of 1,991 meters. In China, several bridges exceed 1,600 meters in span, such as the Yangsigang Bridge over the Yangtze in Wuhan or the Xihoumen Bridge in the Zhoushan Archipelago. South Korea with the Yi Sun-sin Bridge, Denmark with the Great Belt Bridge, and Turkey with the Osman Gazi Bridge complete this list of remarkable structures. These bridges are interesting destinations for observing modern civil engineering accomplishments. They connect cities and regions, significantly reducing travel times while offering scenic views of the landscapes they cross. Visiting them allows appreciation of the scope of work involved in constructing these infrastructures under often challenging conditions.
