Badong Yangtze River Bridge

The Badong Yangtze River Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge over the Yangtze River in Badong County, Hubei, China. Completed in July 2004, it carries 4 lanes of traffic on China National Highway 209. The bridge's highest tower measures 218 m and the bridge has a main span of 388 m. The bridge was constructed 147 m above the original river however the reservoir created by the Three Gorges Dam has increased the height of the water below the bridge and the clearance is vastly reduced.
