Nanjing Dashengguan Yangtze River Bridge

The Nanjing Dashengguan Yangtze River Bridge is a cable-stayed structure that spans the river with distinctive steel towers. The roadway carries traffic across multiple lanes to connect areas on both sides of the waterway.

The bridge opened in 2005 and marked a major step forward in improving river crossings for the region. The project served a growing city that needed better connections between its districts.

The bridge represents the fusion of modern engineering with Nanjing's traditional elements, connecting different districts while maintaining the city's architectural identity.

As a driver, expect multiple lanes in each direction and be aware that this is a major traffic hub. The best time to cross is usually outside peak hours when traffic moves more freely.

The bridge incorporates 168 stay cables composed of specialized wires, supporting an orthotropic box girder that spans 648 meters between its main towers.
