Shanghai Yangtze River Tunnel and Bridge, Bridge-tunnel system in Shanghai, China

The Shanghai Yangtze River Tunnel and Bridge stretches 25.5 kilometers across the Yangtze River, combining an 8.9-kilometer tunnel and a 10.3-kilometer bridge section.

Construction of this massive infrastructure project concluded in October 2009, marking the first direct connection between Shanghai Pudong and Chongming Island.

The bridge-tunnel system represents the technological progress of modern Chinese infrastructure, connecting Shanghai with the third largest island in China.

The six-lane highway system operates with a speed limit of 80 kilometers per hour and includes two main toll stations at Pudong and Chongming Island.

Eight viscous dampers with limiting functions protect the bridge structure against earthquakes, strong winds, and high-speed loads while allowing natural expansion.
