Xiangshan Harbor Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Ningbo, China.
Xiangshan Harbor Bridge is a cable-stayed structure crossing the water with a main span of 688 meters. The construction features tall towers from which steel cables fan out to support the roadway.
Work on the structure began in 2008 to improve regional transportation links. The project was completed 4 years later to connect two districts on opposite sides of the water.
The bridge design demonstrates Chinese engineering capabilities through its precise construction methods and adaptation to local maritime conditions.
The structure provides 53 meters of clearance above the water for ships to pass through safely. It carries multiple lanes of highway traffic and significantly shortens travel time between the two districts.
The bridge maintains a clearance of 53 meters above water level, allowing large vessels to pass underneath while connecting industrial zones.
