Shanghai's Nanpu Bridge

Among the major bridges in the world, I found Nanpu Bridge to be most interesting. The construction of this bridge began on December 15, 1988 and was finished by June 20, 1991. The length of Nanpu Bridge is 8,346 m. With a bridge height of 46 m over the water, ships of up to 55 thousand tons are able to navigate bellow the bridge. The significance of this bridge is that it connects the Zhongshan South Road and Lu Jiabing Road across the Huangpu River. Located in Shanghai, China, this bridge utilizes a creative spiral approach to aid in the development of the Pudong District as well as save space. Nanpu Bridge's special engineering and location makes it an attraction to travelers, a more glorious ingenuity to behold by night. Nanpu Bridge is one of many creations that exemplifies the versatility of the engineering profession.
