Jintang Bridge

The Jintang Bridge(chinese:金塘大桥) is above the gray turtle ocean in the East China Sea.
It connects 3 places in Zhejiang Province, 1: Zhoushan City, 2: Zhenhai District, Ningbo City, 3: Jintang Island. It is one of the important components of the “Zhoushan Cross-sea Bridge” project.

The construction started on September 30, 2005; the closure of the main bridge was completed on June 25, 2008, and the entire bridge section was fully connected; it was opened to traffic on December 25, 2009.

The total length of Jintang Bridge is 16.5 mi / 26.54 km, Bridge section length is 13 mi / 21 km, And length over water is 11.4 mi / 18.4 km. The bridge deck is a two-way four-lane highway with a design speed of 100 kilometers per hour. The total investment is 7.7 billion yuan (about 1.2 billion US dollars).
