The Wuhai Yellow River Road Bridge is located in Wuhai, Inner Mongolia. The cable-stayed bridge's main span length is 760m (2,490feet);[1] The total spanned length is 1130m (3,710feet). As of 2022 it is the bridge over the Yellow River with the largest single structure span.[2] Each of the bridge's tower is 50m (160feet) tall.[3]
Construction by the Inner Mongolia Highway Construction and Development Co. started in March 2013 at a cost of 1.08 billion RMB. In June 2018 the main span was closed.[4] The bridge opened on 2018.[5]
At the same location a bridge has been present since 1988. The original Wuhai Yellow River Bridge opened for traffic in September 1988. The total length spanned 530.6m (1,740.8feet).[6]
In November 2016 the Wuhai Lake Bridge opened nearby. On 7 January 2017 the bridge was decommissioned to be demolished, as it could not carry contemporary heavy loads. Traffic was routed over the Wuhai Lake Bridge until the new bridge opened.
