Anqing Yangtze River Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge spanning over the Yangtze River at Anqing, Anhui Province in eastern China.[1] The bridge is wide and carries four lanes of traffic on the G50 Shanghai–Chongqing Expressway between Anqing north of the river and Dongzhi County in Chizhou prefecture to the south. The bridge opened on December 27, 2004 and was the 35th bridge across the Yangtze River between Yibin and Shanghai.[1] The bridge required investment of ¥1.3174 billion.
