Haizhu Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Yuexiu District, China

The Haizhu Bridge extends across the Pearl River, connecting the Yuexiu District with Jiangnan Avenue in the Haizhu District of Guangzhou.

The American contractor Markton Company constructed the bridge between 1929 and 1933, establishing the first crossing over the Pearl River in Guangzhou.

The bridge represents a significant period of infrastructure development in Southern China, marking the beginning of modern transportation across the Pearl River.

The current structure maintains two traffic lanes that facilitate bidirectional movement between the north and south banks of the Pearl River.

The bridge endured multiple instances of damage, first by Japanese forces in 1938 and later by Kuomintang forces in 1949, leading to reconstruction.
