The main bridge of Fenghuang Yellow River Bridge finished closure on Oct 15. It is the world's longest spanning three-tower self-anchored suspension bridge and the 12th bridge to cross the Yellow River in Jinan. It is also the widest bridge to cross the river, with a width of 61.7 meters.

The bridge is built in accordance with two-way eight-lane highway standards and has a designed speed of 60 kilometers per hour.

People on both sides of the Yellow River can cross the river by car, bus, rail, foot, or bike.

After completion, the bridge will play an important role in alleviating traffic congestion, expanding urban development space, and promoting the transformation of old growth drivers into new ones.

The Fenghuang Yellow River Bridge is expected to open to traffic by the end of next year.
