The
Nanpu bridge is the world’s fourth
longest cable stayed bridge. This is also the first girder bridge of Shanghai
with a structural composition of steel and concrete. Before the year 1991, people
used to communicate between Puxi and Pudong with the help of the ferry service.
But, after the construction of the bridge completed in the year 1991, it
connected Puxi to Pudong.
As per the reports, in the year 1991; the daily traffic was about 14,000 to 17,000 vehicles a day, and it increased to 120,000 vehicles per day as recorded in the year 2006. One of the attractive characteristics of the bridge is the circular design that is being implemented in order to reduce the amount of land used.
The
famous Nanpu bridge was designed by the collective approach of Shanghai Urban
Construction Design Institute, Shanghai Municipal Engineering Design Institute
and Shanghai Urban Construction College. The Nanpu bridge is also called as the
sister bridge of the Yangpu bridge, which is also one of the main bridges in
Shanghai.
The
construction methodology implemented in the bridge is known as the composite
beam structure. The bridge crosses the
Huangpu river. The bridge is divided into six vehicle lanes with sidewalks of
two meters wide, on both sides along the bridge.
