At the same location a bridge has been present since 1988. The original Wuhai Yellow River Bridge opened for traffic in September 1988. The total length spanned 530.6 m (1,741 ft).[7]

In November 2016 the Wuhai Lake Bridge opened nearby. On 7 January 2017 the bridge was decommissioned to be demolished, as it could not carry contemporary heavy loads. Traffic was routed over the Wuhai Lake Bridge until the new bridge opened.[7]
