Chibi Yangtze River Bridge, Cable-stayed road bridge in Honghu, China.

The Chibi Yangtze River Bridge is a cable-stayed structure spanning 4,557 meters across the river, joining two distinct communities on opposite banks. Its design features tall tower pylons with supporting cables that distribute the weight of constant vehicle traffic.

Construction was completed in 2021, representing a major infrastructure milestone for the Hubei region in central China. The project improved connectivity for communities that had lacked direct crossing routes before its opening.

The bridge connects two riverside communities that were previously separated by lengthy detours or ferry services, reshaping how local residents travel and interact daily. This new link has brought the regions closer together in practical and social ways.

The bridge carries a six-lane expressway with a 33.5-metre deck and a design speed of 100 km/h; the crossing is part of a 13.1 km route whose southern approach runs 5.853 km to the Chibi first-class road. The structure is engineered for a 100-year service life, with a navigation clearance of at least 18 metres above the Yangtze.

The main span of 720 metres is among the longest cable-stayed spans over the Yangtze, and the deck uses a hybrid arrangement: a steel box girder on the main span and a concrete girder on the side span. The red characters on the crossbeam of the southern towers name the bridge.
