Zigui Yangtze River Bridge

The Zigui Yangtze River Bridge stretches 883.2 meters across the Yangtze River, featuring a main span of 508 meters and standing 240 meters high.

Constructed in 2019, the bridge represents the most downstream crossing point of the Three Gorges reservoir, connecting previously separated communities of the Yangtze River Basin.

The bridge connects regions near the ancient Baidi City, where the celebrated poet Qu Yuan lived and created his influential works during the Kingdom of Chu.

The structure incorporates hollow square box beams and serves as a critical transportation link, enabling residents to access Route S255 through a 5.5-kilometer connector expressway.

Engineers selected an arch design similar to the Wushan Bridge, positioning the road deck 117 meters above the reservoir's full level with 123 meters of water beneath.
