The upper and lower decks are both 6 lanes with designed speed at 80 and 60 kilometers/hour separately. Besides, pedestrian passageway, non-motorized vehicle lane and sightseeing and leisure area are designed, which makes it the world's most functional bridge.
As an important river-crossing tunnel in the west of the second loop line in Wuhan city, the 10th Yangtze River Bridge connects Hanyang and Wuchang districts which are two of three famous towns in Wuhan.
Located at the upstream of Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, the bridge is between Yingwuzhou Yangtze River Bridge and Baishazhou Yangtze River Bridge. The construction of the bridge is expected to be completed and open to traffic in 2019.
