The bridge across the Huangpu River Nanpu is one of the main bridges in Shanghai, China, and the first cable-stayed bridge with a span of over 400 meters in the country. The main bridge is 846 meters long with a main span length of 423 meters. Two "H" shaped reinforced concrete towers, each 150 meters high, are set on both sides, with 22 pairs of steel cables are arranged in a fan shape and support the main beams.
One of the attractive features of the bridge is circular is implemented in order to reduce the gradient of the approach to the bridge while maintaining land use in minimal design. When viewed through the cycle, the Nanpu Bridge, with a total length of 8346 meters, looks like a dragon lying across the Huangpu River, with its head and tail in a spiral that connects the old area City Puxi with Pudong Development Zone.
Before the completion of the bridge in 1991, the only way to communicate between Puxi and Pudong was to take the ferry service. After the bridge was opened to the public, between 14,000 and 17,000 vehicles began to accumulate on the bridge every day, which increased to 120 thousand vehicles per day as recorded in 2006.
