Shanghai Nanpu Bridge
Situated at No. 943 Zhongshan South Road in Shanghai, Nanpu Bridge was completed and opened on December 1, 1991. With a total length of 8,346 meters, the main bridge stretches 846 meters and features a main span of 423 meters. The navigational clearance height is 46 meters, enabling 55,000-ton ships to sail underneath. It is currently the world’s fourth-largest double-tower, double-cable plane cable-stayed bridge. The H-shaped main tower stands 150 meters tall and bears the four Chinese characters “Nan Pu Da Qiao” (Nanpu Bridge), handwritten by [Comrade's Name]. The bridge has six vehicle lanes, with a total width of 30.35 meters, including 2-meter-wide sidewalks on both sides. Visitors can take elevators to the main bridge deck to enjoy the breathtaking views along both banks of the Huangpu River. As the first bridge over the Huangpu River, Nanpu Bridge resembles a giant dragon lying across the water, fulfilling Shanghai residents' dream of "a bridge soaring across the Huangpu."
