Taihu Bridge, Transportation bridge in Wuzhong District, China.
Taihu Bridge is a road crossing over Lake Tai that connects the Xukou region with Xishan Island through three distinct sections. The structure spans 4,308 meters and serves as a major transportation route across the water.
Construction began in 1992 and the bridge opened the following year after substantial investment was committed to the project. It was built to establish a vital transportation link across the water.
The bridge links the mainland with several destinations that hold local significance and draw visitors interested in temples and historic villages. It passes through a landscape shaped by water and traditional communities.
The bridge is easily accessible and used by vehicles crossing the region. You can use it to drive or walk between the two shores and observe the surrounding landscape.
The middle section rises high above the water to allow boats to pass underneath. This engineering solution makes it stand out among similar structures in the region.
