Invested in ten billion, Chongming Yangtze Bridge will be used more than 100 years according to the estimation. Up to now, the great construction has created a lot of records in the world and China. To satisfy the need of navigation, the bridge’s main span has a diameter of 730m, surpassing all the bridges built in Shanghai before. Moreover, it is ranked as NO.5 largest span in the world. Judging from correlative introduction, the span can meet two huge freighters to opposite directions voyaging across the bridge at the same time. The 16.5m long bridge is designed as a cable stayed bridge. Different from the Yangpu Bridge and Xupu Bridge, the shape of Chongming Yangtze Bridge resembles a Chinese word ——people. Striding over the river’s loin, the bridge is called as the NO.1 Bridge of Yangtze Portal. It is also developed as an attraction depending on its picturesque scenery. The whole project was completed in October 31st, 2009. Seen from distant place, the Bridge looks like a coloured ribbon on the lake surface, connecting Chongming Island and Changxing Island.
