The Nanjing Baguazhou Yangtze River Bridge, formerly Second Nanjing Yangtze Bridge, is a cable-stayed bridge over the Yangtze River in Nanjing, China.[2] The bridge spans 628 metres (2,060 ft) carrying traffic on the G36 Nanjing–Luoyang Expressway and new route of China National Highway 104. When it was completed it was the third longest cable-stayed span in the world.[3] As of 2013[update] it is still among the 20 longest spans. The bridge crosses from the Qixia District in south-east of the river over to Bagua Island. The bridge was renamed on 20 December 2019.[4]
