Yichang Yangtze River Highway Bridge

The Yichang Yangtze River Highway Bridge extends 1,188.3 meters across the Yangtze River with a main span measuring 960 meters in length.

The construction of this concrete bridge started in February 1998 and required an investment of 895 million yuan before its completion in September 2001.

The bridge represents a significant development in Chinese infrastructure, connecting regions along the Yangtze River and supporting the G50 Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway network.

Multiple lanes accommodate vehicles crossing the Yangtze River, with toll stations positioned at both ends to manage traffic flow and maintenance costs.

Located 20 kilometers downstream from Yichang city center, this bridge ranks among the world's 30 longest suspension bridges based on its main span length.
