Haiyin Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Guangzhou, China

Haiyin Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge over the Pearl River, completed in 1988 and linking Yuexiu District on the north bank with Haizhu District on the south. Its two towers rise 57.4 m and form an inverted Y; the main span is 345 m long and 35 m wide, carrying six lanes plus cycle tracks and footpaths on both sides.

Construction began in June 1985 and the bridge opened to traffic in December 1988. It was Guangzhou's first cable-stayed bridge and China's first double-tower, single-plane cable-stayed bridge. It is named after Haiyin Rock, a feature of the river at this spot.

The name comes from Haiyin Shi, a rock in the Pearl River after which the crossing is called. Since tolls were abolished and the bridge was folded into the annual pass system, traffic has grown and many vehicles use it every day.

The bridge carries six lanes of traffic plus separate bicycle lanes and pedestrian walkways on both sides. It links Donghu Road in Yuexiu District to Xiaoxiao Road in Haizhu District, with approach ramps connecting to Yanjiang and Binjiang roads. Since tolls were abolished and the bridge joined the annual pass system, traffic has increased, so allow extra time at peak hours.

Haiyin Bridge was Guangzhou's first cable-stayed bridge and China's first double-tower, single-plane cable-stayed bridge. Its 57.4-metre towers form an inverted Y, and the deck carries six traffic lanes plus cycle and pedestrian paths.
