Tiaoyue Bridge (挑月桥) is a pedestrians bridge, located in the southeast corner of Xinghai Square, across the Malan River (马栏河).
It is a "self-anchored cable-stayed suspension bridge" (Yeah. And sorry - I'm not going to explain in detail what that is). Quite some engineering feat!
The bridge span is 130.54 metres long and 9 metres wide. The main pylon consists of two steel towers, converging at 9° and inclined 70° (30° out of vertical), standing 81.2 metres tall.
The weight of this pylon is 500 tons, it was floated into final position in one piece using a 1,200 ton floating crane.
The bridge construction was completed mid September 2006.
