Nanpu Bridge
     Nanpu Bridge is situated at No. 943 Zhongshan South Road, Shanghai. It was completed and opened to traffic on December 1, 1991, with a total length of 8,346 meters, a main bridge span of 846 meters, a main span of 423 meters, and a navigational clearance height of 46 meters. Ships weighing up to 55,000 tons can pass beneath it. 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 features the four Chinese characters “Nan Pu Da Qiao” (Nanpu Bridge), personally inscribed by [a distinguished leader]. The bridge has six vehicle lanes, with a total width of 30.35 meters, and 2-meter-wide sidewalks on both sides. Visitors can take elevators to the main bridge deck to enjoy the panoramic views of both banks of the Huangpu River. As the first bridge over the Huangpu River, Nanpu Bridge resembles a giant dragon lying across the waterway, fulfilling Shanghai residents’ dream of “a bridge soaring over the river.”
