Runyang Yangtze River Bridge

The Runyang Yangtze River Bridge extends approximately 35.66 kilometers across the Yangtze River, featuring a south suspension bridge with a main span of 1,490 meters and a north cable-stayed bridge with a 406-meter main span connecting Zhenjiang and Yangzhou.

Construction of the bridge began in October 2000 and was completed ahead of schedule, officially opening to traffic on April 30, 2005, marking a significant achievement in Chinese infrastructure development during the early 21st century.

The bridge has become a symbol of modern engineering capabilities in China, representing the country's commitment to large-scale infrastructure projects that improve regional connectivity and support economic integration across the Yangtze River Delta.

Located at the address 6978+93M in Dantu District with postal code 212001, the bridge serves as a major transportation route on the G4011 Yangzhou-Liyang Expressway, reducing travel time between cities and facilitating freight transport throughout Jiangsu Province.

The bridge's south suspension span was the third-longest in the world at completion, with towers standing 215 meters above water and supporting a steel box girder deck that is 39.2 meters wide to accommodate six traffic lanes.
