Zhanjiang Bay Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Zhanjiang, China

Zhanjiang Bay Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge crossing Zhanjiang Bay between Potou District and Xiashan District. Its 840-metre main bridge has a 480-metre steel box girder span between two 155.11-metre towers shaped like torches, a curved design first used in China. The six characters 湛江海湾大桥 are carved in red running script near the top of each tower.

Zhanjiang planned a bridge across the bay as early as 1992, but funding and technical problems delayed it until approval in February 2000. Construction began on 30 July 2003, the main span was joined on 21 June 2006, and the bridge opened to traffic at noon on 30 December 2006. In January 2011 the city bought out the provincial partner's 80% stake.

The bridge's two 155.11-metre towers are shaped like torches, a curved design first used in China, and the name "Zhanjiang Bay Bridge" is carved near the top in red running script. Locals call it a city landmark; on its opening day, 30 December 2006, more than 50,000 vehicles crossed during twelve hours of free passage.

The bridge carries vehicular traffic and experiences peak congestion during rush hours when many commuters use it. Pedestrians cannot walk across it, so crossing requires using a vehicle.

The bridge's two main towers are shaped like torches, a curved design described as the first of its kind in China. Each tower rises 155.11 metres, and the name 湛江海湾大桥 is carved near the top in red running script. The main span of 480 metres places it among the world's largest cable-stayed bridges.
