Location

The western end of the bridge connects to a new east-west road, part of Haidian No. 5 East Road, that cuts across Xinbu Island. This road is a prominent feature of the island, and connects this bridge to the Xinbu Bridge at the west of Xinbu Island. It allows traffic to go from Haidian Island, through Xinbu Island, and across the Haikou New East Bridge to the rest of the province in a nearly straight line via this wide, main road.

Specifications

This two-way bridge is 908 meters long and 30.5 metres wide. The automobile lanes are each 11.25 metres wide. The raised pedestrian sidewalks are 1.5 metres wide and the motorbike lanes, separated from the automobile traffic lanes for safety, are 2.5 metres wide. Down the centre of the bridge is a low, metal, physical barrier to separate the automobile lanes.

The overall bridge span between the two banks is made up of two sets of three 32-metre-long box girders linked to four single-beam sections of 60, 90, 90 and 60 metres in length, which in turn connect to two sets of four 32-metre-long box girders joined to five 32-metre-long box girders.

The speed limit is 60 kilometres per hour.[5]
