The Yanjia Yangtze River Bridge in Hubei Province, designed and built by CCCC, has successfully closed its main span, adding a key crossing over the Yangtze River.
With a main span of 1,860 meters, it is the world's largest cable-stayed bridge with four main cables. The two-level structure carries a 6-lane highway above at 100 km/h and a 4-lane urban expressway below at 80 km/h.
The main span consists of 69 beam sections, totaling about 56,000 tons. Due to aviation height limits, the main tower is capped at 184 meters, achieving a record 1:15 span-to-tower-height ratio for large suspension bridges.
During construction, the CCCC team advanced key technologies for four-cable suspension bridges and smart construction methods. They deployed an integrated smart tower-building machine and a "concrete cloud factory" to monitor concrete from transport to pouring and curing, ensuring high-quality results.
Linking Ezhou and Huanggang and connecting to Hubei's international logistics hub airport, the bridge will strengthen the regional integrated transport network—road, rail, water, and air.
