Qianjiang 7th bridge, Road bridge and controlled-access highway in Hangzhou, China.
The Qianjiang 7th Bridge is a multi-lane road bridge that crosses the Qiantang River as part of the S30 expressway. It connects different districts of Hangzhou and allows traffic to pass over the wide river.
The bridge was built during a period of intensive infrastructure development in Hangzhou in the early 2000s. Its construction was part of a larger plan to connect the expanding city more effectively.
The bridge represents the continuing tradition of spanning the Qiantang River, joining numerous other crossings that connect communities across Hangzhou's waterways.
The bridge is part of an expressway network and can be accessed from various on and off ramps. Drivers should expect heavy traffic, especially during rush hours in the morning and evening.
The river that the bridge crosses is known for its strong tidal currents, which required special construction methods. Engineers had to use specific techniques to stabilize the structure against these natural forces.
