Jiangxi River Bridge by Zaha Hadid Architects in Chengdu is 295 meters long and crosses the Jiangxi River, in China’s Sichuan province.
The symmetrical Jiangxi River bridge created by Zaha Hadid Architects is composed of two primary steel arches that rise from either bade of the road deck.

As they rise, the arches lean together to touch tangentially at their crown, stabilizing the structure from lateral viand forces.

The dynamic curvature of the bridge’s supporting piers and abutments taper into its primary arches and road deck, defining a sculptural landmark within Chengdrts transport infrastructure.

With a height-to-span ratio of approximately 1:6, the bridge’s arches rise 39 meters and are tied together at their base by longitudinal box girders that run along the edge of the road deck.
