Donghai Bridge (Chinese: t 東海大橋,s 东海大桥,p Dōnghǎi Dàqiáo,Wu Tonhe Dujiaulit. "East Sea Bridge") is a Chinese bridge counted among thelongest cross-sea bridges in the world. It was completed on December 10, 2005. It has a total length of 32.5 kilometres (20.2 mi) and connects mainlandShanghai'sPudong New Area with the offshoreYangshan Deep-Water Port inZhejiang'sShengsi County. Most of the bridge is a low-levelviaduct. There are alsocable-stayed sections to allow for the passage of large ships, the largest with a span of 420 metres (1,380 ft). Donghai Bridge is part of theS2 Hulu Expressway.
The bridge has a long and narrow speedway and does not allow vehicles that do not meet the weight requirements.
On 29 January 2014, Shanghai's urban planning authorities announced that they would build a second bridge combining road and rail to help meet growing transport demands for theYangshan Deep-Water Port.[1] Plans from 2019 show that this second bridge is proposed to connect Shanghai toNingbo via Yangshan port.[2]
