On this day, 32 years ago, on April 8, 1993 (March 17, 1993, the world's largest cable-stayed bridge-Shanghai Yangpu Bridge was closed. Shanghai Yangpu Bridge April 8, 1993 Shanghai Yangpu Bridge, the largest cable-stayed bridge in the world, was closed. The Yangpu Bridge is an important bridge in Shanghai City across the Huangpu River and connecting Puxi City and Pudong Development Zone. It is a key urban infrastructure project recently constructed by Shanghai City. It is also the initial project to revitalize Shanghai and develop Pudong. Together with the Nanpu Bridge, which was built and opened to traffic in advance, it has become two important river-crossing hubs of the Inner Ring Road of Shanghai City. The main bridge of Yangpu Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge structure with twin towers, spatial double cable planes, and a main span of 602 meters, making it the largest bridge of its kind in the world. The towering and straight diamond-shaped main tower column, double-web box steel main beam, and colorful cable cables arranged on the spatial cable plane not only greatly improve the span ability, wind and earthquake resistance of the cable-stayed bridge, but also further highlight the unique beautiful appearance of the cable-stayed bridge, which is simple, lively, powerful, and smooth in lines. Reasonable tower and beam anchorage structure and perfect bridge deck anti-crack measures make the design more perfect. In order to meet the needs of horizontal deformation and rotation angle of the deck of ultra-large-span cable-stayed bridges, large-displacement expansion joints and large-tonnage spherical hinge sliding bearings were used in the design. The main bridge includes a total length of 1172m, and a deck area of 35260m2. Construction of the bridge started on May 1, 1991.
