Lupu Bridge

The Lupu Bridge spans 3900 meters across the Huangpu River, connecting the districts of Huangpu and Pudong with its distinctive steel arch structure.

Upon its completion in June 2003, the Lupu Bridge held the record for the longest arch bridge globally until the Chaotianmen Bridge surpassed it in 2009.

The bridge's name combines references to its connecting points: Lu from Luwan district and Pu from Pudong, reflecting Shanghai's district integration.

The structure accommodates six lanes of vehicular traffic and allows passage for ships up to 70,000 tons beneath its 550-meter main span.

The bridge features a massive steel arch with the largest cross-section worldwide, measuring 9 meters in height and 5 meters in width.
