The Second Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge built of pre-stressed concrete and has a central span of 400 metres. It is 4,678 metres in length (including 1,877 metres at the main bridge) and 26.5 to 33.5 metres in width. Its main bridgeheads are 90 metres high, pulling 392 thick slanting cables together together in the shape of double fans, so that the central span of the bridge is well poised on the piers and that the bridge's stability and vibration resistance are ensured. With six lanes on the deck, the bridge is designed to handle 50,000 motor vehicles a day. It was built in 1995.
