History
The bridge was commissioned by the Directorate General of Highways, and was designed to provide connection to the national highway system and to ease congestion on the Guandu Bridge that is situated further upriver. The construction of the bridge will also facilitate the expansion of the Danhai Light Rail Transit, part of the city light rail public transport system. Zaha Hadid Architects in collaboration with Sinotech Engineering Consultants and Leonhardt Andra und Partner Beratende Ingenieure have won an international competition to design the Danjiang Bridge.
