Zhujiang Bridge

Zhujiang Bridge, Vehicle and pedestrian bridge in Guangzhou, China

Zhujiang Bridge in Liwan District, Guangzhou, consists of two separate spans over the Pearl River: the East Bridge links Zhongshan 8th Road to Datansha Island, and the West Bridge connects Datansha to the Guangfo Highway and Fangcun Avenue. The bridge carries the Guangzhou–Zhanjiang high-speed railway, the Linan connecting line and Shuangqiao Road, with a road deck alongside the tracks.

A predecessor, the Southwest Bridge, was begun in 1933 under mayor Liu Jiwen; work halted in 1936 with the piers unfinished. Construction resumed in October 1958 using the old alignment, and the renamed Zhujiang Bridge opened to rail and road traffic on 2 October 1960, becoming the second bridge across the Pearl River in Guangzhou.

The bridge's two spans gave rise to the name "Double Bridge in Mist", one of the Eight Sights of Guangzhou in 1963: seen from a height through drizzle, the two crossings looked like rainbows over the Pearl River channels. Cantonese opera artist Chen Xiaofeng composed a Cantonese melody of the same name. In 2014 the bridge entered Guangzhou's first list of historic buildings.

The bridge carries Shuangqiao Road between Zhongshan 8th Road in Liwan District and the Fangcun area; the East Bridge links to Datansha Island, the West Bridge continues to Guangfo Highway and Fangcun Avenue. Metro Line 5 runs on a viaduct north of the West Bridge, with Jiaokou and Tanwei stations nearby. Since 2024 the West Bridge deck has been converted into a slow lane for pedestrians and cyclists, while the East Bridge is being rebuilt for the Guangzhou–Zhanjiang high-speed railway.

The bridge's name comes from the "Double Bridge in Mist" scene, which was chosen as one of the Eight Sights of Guangzhou in 1963. The Cantonese opera singer Chen Xiaofeng even composed a Cantonese opera piece titled "Double Bridge in Mist".
