The Yangsigang Yangtze River suspension bridge, with the longest span in the world, opened to traffic in Wuhan, capital of central China's Hubei Province, on Tuesday.

The first double-deck road bridge over the Yangtze River, with a 1,700-meter-long main span, stretches 4.13 km in total length.

The top deck of the 10th Yangtze River bridge has six lanes with a designed speed of 80 kph while the bottom deck also has six lanes but with a designed speed of 60 kph.

On the top deck there are also two sightseeing sidewalks and on the bottom deck there are two cycleways together with two sidewalks.

The new bridge, after nearly five years of construction, will help ease traffic congestion and promote more balanced city development.
