平潭海峡大桥, Bridge in Fujian Province, China
The Pingtan Strait Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge connecting the mainland to Pingtan Island with railway tracks on the lower level and road lanes on the upper level. The structure rises dramatically from the water and carries both types of traffic simultaneously across the sea channel.
Construction started in 2010 and finished in 2020, creating a major transportation link between the Fuzhou mainland and the island. The project represented a significant step in improving regional connectivity across the sea channel.
The bridge structure incorporates elements of modern engineering practices while maintaining harmony with the maritime landscape of Fujian Province.
You can cross the bridge by car or train, and the journey takes significantly less time than older ferry routes once did. Daytime visits offer the best views of the sea and surrounding landscape around you.
The bridge stands as one of the longest cross-sea bridges worldwide, featuring specialized platforms for visitors to observe marine landscapes.
