Yiling Yangtze River Bridge

Yiling Yangtze River Bridge, Cable-stayed road bridge in Yichang, Hubei Province, China.

The Yiling Yangtze River Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge whose 3,246 m total length includes a 936 m main bridge of eight continuous spans, the largest two measuring 348 m each. Three inverted-Y towers rise from a single central cable plane, and the 23 m deck carries four motor lanes plus 2 m walkways on each side. It links Shengli Third Road in the city center to Wulong Village in Dianjun District.

The bridge was first planned in June 1993 under the name Wulong Yangtze River Bridge and renamed Yiling Yangtze River Bridge in October 1997. Construction ran from 28 November 1998 to its opening on 28 December 2001. It won the 2002 Luban Prize and the 2004 Zhan Tianyou Award.

The bridge's name comes from Yiling, an old name for the Yichang area; it was first planned in June 1993 as the Wulong Yangtze River Bridge and renamed in October 1997. In October 2001 Li Peng, former chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee, visited it a second time and wrote an inscription for the bridge.

The bridge runs from Tiyuchang Road in the north, along Shengli 3rd Road over the Yichang–Yizhou railway, Dongshan Avenue, Yiling Avenue and Yanjiang Avenue, then across the Yangtze to Wulong village in Dianjun District, where a cloverleaf interchange links it to Jiangnan Avenue. It carries four motor lanes with 2 m walkways on each side, and a toll booth stands at the southern end.

As the world's first single-plane prestressed concrete cable-stayed bridge with three towers arranged in an inverted Y configuration, the structure achieved two main spans of 346 meters each, a technical distinction in bridge engineering.
