Jiangxi River Bridge

Firm LocationLondon, United Kingdom
Project locationChengdu, China
CompanyZaha Hadid Architects
ClientChengdu International Aerotropolis Group Construction and Development

With its 185-metre central span and 55-metre secondary spans reaching to the riverbanks, the Chengdu West First Bridge is a road, cycle and pedestrian bridge over the meandering Jiangxi River; enabling the West Line Road to become the western section of the Airport New Town ring-road and cycle route. As arches provide the most efficient bridge structure for spans between 120-250 meters, the bridge’s steel arches lean together touching at their crown, stabilising the structure while its supporting piers taper into its arches and road deck.
