Fuchimen Bridge, Road bridge in Zhoushan archipelago, China.
Fuchimen Bridge is a road bridge connecting islands in the Zhoushan region, functioning as part of a cross-sea transportation network. It spans the water to carry regular vehicle traffic and goods between the mainland and island communities.
The bridge was built as a major infrastructure project and has connected Zhoushan and Daishan islands since its completion in 2021. It marked an important milestone in China's development of maritime infrastructure in coastal regions.
For island residents, the bridge represents a tangible link to the mainland and daily life, as thousands of vehicles cross it to connect communities and commerce. It has reshaped how people experience their home by bringing them closer to larger markets and opportunities.
The bridge is open to vehicle traffic and provides a stable route across the water, with regular maintenance keeping it in good condition. It is passable throughout the year, though weather conditions occasionally affect traffic flow.
The bridge is part of China's largest archipelagic highway system, a network that has connected previously isolated islands together. This system significantly reduced travel times between island communities.
