Jiaxing-Shaoxing Sea Bridge

The Jiaxing-Shaoxing Sea Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge that crosses Hangzhou Bay in Zhejiang province. The structure spans more than 10 kilometers with six tall pylons and eight traffic lanes for vehicles.

Construction of the bridge started in 2008 and was completed five years later, marking a major infrastructure project for the region. The project connected two important urban centers and enabled improved links between the areas.

The bridge stands as a representation of Chinese engineering capabilities, connecting the cities of Jiaxing and Shaoxing while facilitating regional development.

The bridge is open to vehicle traffic and requires a toll fee for crossing. Drivers should expect an organized traffic system and should follow all safety regulations.

The structure uses a special design with single piers that block water flow in the bay less than traditional bridge constructions. This innovative system helps manage the region's strong tidal currents while maintaining stability.
