The Third Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge (or the Baishazhou Changjiang Bridge, (Chinese: 白沙洲长江大桥)) is a highway bridge over the Yangtze River in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. It is located 6.8 kilometers southwest (upstream) of the First Bridge (which connects central Wuchang with central Hanyang). The two bridge names come from the order of construction (it was built after the First and Second Bridges), and from the name of the small island (Baisha Zhou (白沙洲), i.e. "White Sand Island") located under the bridge.
The bridge construction started in 1997 and was completed in September 2000. With an investment of over 1,400,000,000 Yuan (about $170,000,000), the bridge, which is 3,586 meters long and 28.5 meters wide, has six lanes and a capacity of 50,000 vehicles a day. The bridge is expected to serve as a major passage for the future Wuhan Ring Road, enormously easing the city's traffic and aiding local economic development.
