Husutong Yangtze River Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Nantong, China
The Husutong Yangtze River Bridge extends 11.1 kilometers across the Yangtze River, featuring two 330-meter towers that support its cable-stayed structure.
The construction of this major infrastructure project began in March 2014 and reached completion in July 2020, marking a new era for transportation in Eastern China.
The bridge represents China's engineering capabilities, connecting the urban centers of Nantong and Suzhou while supporting regional development in Jiangsu province.
The dual-level design accommodates both a six-lane highway on the upper deck and four railway tracks on the lower level for trains running at 200 kilometers per hour.
The bridge's main span measures 1,092 meters, making it the easternmost railway crossing of the Yangtze River.

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.
