The Ma'anshan Yangtze River Bridge is a bridge complex over the Yangtze River in Ma'anshan, Anhui Province in eastern China. The bridge complex carries a six-lane highway over two branch streams of the Yangtze and the island of Xiaohuangzhou in the middle of the river.[1]
The entire bridge complex is 11.209km (06.965miles) in length.[1] The bridge over the left stream is a suspension bridge with three towers and two 1080m (3,540feet) spans.[1] This section is tied with the Taizhou Yangtze River Bridge as the longest double span suspension bridge in the world. The bridge over the right stream is a cable-stayed bridge with three towers and two 260m (850feet).[1]
The deck height of the left stream bridge is 32m (105feet), while the deck height of the right stream bridge is 18m (59feet) high.[1]
The bridge project was approved in July 2004.[1] The bridge opened on December 31, 2013.[2]
