Lijiatuo Yangtze River Bridge, Cable-stayed road bridge in Chongqing, China.
Lijiatuo Yangtze River Bridge is a prestressed concrete cable-stayed bridge with two towers and two cable planes, linking Jiulongpo District's Tanzikou on the north bank with Banan District's Lijiatuo on the south bank. Its 1,288-metre length is made up of a 53-metre approach span, a main span of 169+444+169 metres, a second 53-metre approach span and an 8x50-metre southern approach viaduct. The deck is 24 metres wide and carries four lanes. It was designed by the Shanghai Municipal Engineering Design Institute and built by the Chongqing Bridge Engineering Company.
The bridge opened in 1995 and connected two districts that previously lacked direct crossing routes between them. Its construction represented an important step in expanding the city's infrastructure during a period of rapid urban growth.
The bridge connects daily routines across the Yangtze, linking two sides of the city that would otherwise feel distant. It serves as a practical path for residents and reflects how the city has grown around the river's constraints.
The bridge carries vehicle traffic and functions as a main route between the districts. Be aware of normal traffic conditions when using it and follow standard local traffic rules for safe passage.
Because it was the second road bridge completed over the Yangtze in Chongqing's main urban area, locals have long called it the "Second Yangtze Bridge". Its deck is 24 metres wide and carries four traffic lanes. The 1,288-metre structure was designed by the Shanghai Municipal Engineering Design Institute and built by the Chongqing Bridge Engineering Company.
