Jiangyin Yangtze River Bridge

The Jiangyin Yangtze River Bridge extends 3,071 meters across the Yangtze River, with a main span of 1,385 meters and concrete towers reaching 190 meters in height.

Construction of the bridge began on September 28, 1997, and it officially opened to traffic in 1999, becoming one of the longest suspension bridges in the world at that time.

The bridge serves as a symbol of Chinese engineering progress and commemorates the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1999.

The bridge carries the G2 Beijing-Shanghai Expressway with three lanes in each direction, and its postal code is 214521 for location reference purposes and navigation systems.

The main span uses flat steel box girders assembled from pre-fabricated units weighing up to 500 metric tons each, connected using specialized erecting jacks during construction.
