Ma'anshan Yangtze River Bridge, Twin bridge complex crossing the Yangtze River in Anhui Province, China.

The structure consists of a suspension bridge on the left stream and a cable-stayed bridge on the right stream, with a total length of approximately 11.2 kilometers and six highway lanes.

Construction began on December 28, 2008, following project approval in July 2004, and the bridge opened to traffic on December 31, 2013, marking significant progress in regional infrastructure development.

The bridge represents China's engineering capabilities and serves as a landmark structure on the Hefei-Chaohu-Ma'anshan Expressway, symbolizing economic integration in Anhui Province and the Yangtze River Delta region.

The bridge connects Ma'anshan city with He County and Dangtu County, carrying a two-way six-lane expressway on the upper deck and a four-line railway on the lower deck.

The suspension section features three towers with 1,080-meter spans each, making it one of the longest double-span suspension bridges in the world alongside the Taizhou Yangtze River Bridge.

The longest suspension bridges in the world

This collection gathers bridges that hold world records for span length, defined as the distance between two main pylons. While the longest bridge in the world measures 165 kilometers in China, this refers to the maximum span covered in one continuous structure. These constructions demonstrate engineering achievements in crossing maritime straits, rivers, or valleys without intermediate supports. The Çanakkale Bridge in Turkey crosses the Dardanelles Strait with a span of 2,023 meters, setting the current record for suspension bridges. In Japan, the Akashi Strait Bridge connects Kobe to Awaji Island with a central span of 1,991 meters. In China, several bridges exceed 1,600 meters in span, such as the Yangsigang Bridge over the Yangtze in Wuhan or the Xihoumen Bridge in the Zhoushan Archipelago. South Korea with the Yi Sun-sin Bridge, Denmark with the Great Belt Bridge, and Turkey with the Osman Gazi Bridge complete this list of remarkable structures. These bridges are interesting destinations for observing modern civil engineering accomplishments. They connect cities and regions, significantly reducing travel times while offering scenic views of the landscapes they cross. Visiting them allows appreciation of the scope of work involved in constructing these infrastructures under often challenging conditions.
