上海首座悬索桥主跨已完成连接，预计2026年通车 2025-09-15
The main span of the Jiasong Highway Bridge, the first suspension bridge over the Huangpu River, is joined on Friday.
Shanghai's first suspension bridge over the Huangpu River is progressing toward its anticipated opening at the end of 2026, following the linking of its main span on Friday.
The Jiasong Highway Bridge will be the 14th bridge spanning the Huangpu and is the final large river crossing planned as part of Shanghai's 2035 master plan.
In contrast to the existing cable-stayed bridges, such as the Lupu and Yangpu, which feature unique designs, the Jiasong Bridge offers a different structural approach.
This bridge will connect the Songjiang and Jinshan districts, extending from Jinping Road in the north to Songjin Highway in the south.
Once completed, the bridge will feature six lanes of traffic and dedicated walkways for pedestrians and cyclists. Officials have indicated that this design will enable residents on both sides of the river to cross directly, eliminating the need to detour to other bridges or tunnels.
The Jiasong bridge connects Songjiang and Jinshan districts, running from Jinping Road in the north to Songjin Highway in the south.
The bridge is Shanghai's first self-anchored suspension bridge spanning the Huangpu River. The main span measures 596 meters, and the total project length is 1.8 kilometers. Engineers have stated that this span ranks among the longest of its type in China.
Incorporating a smart monitoring system, the bridge will track its condition in real time. This system will help guide maintenance efforts and enhance long-term safety.
The next phase will concentrate on installing the suspension cables and transforming the structure into its final bridge configuration.
Officials have indicated that the bridge will reduce travel times across the river by up to 30 minutes. It is expected to enhance road connections in southwest Shanghai and foster the development of suburban towns.
Additionally, the project contributes to the Yangtze River Delta integration plan, which aims to strengthen transport links throughout the region.
