Excerpt from Wikipedia
The Yingwuzhou Yangtze River Bridge (Chinese: 鹦鹉洲长江大桥) is a bridge carrying the southern section of the Second Ring Road over the Yangtze River in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. It is one of the longest suspension bridges in the world with two consecutive 850 m (2,790 ft) spans. The bridge cost 3.08 billion yuan to build and opened on December 28, 2014. Yingwuzhou literally means "parrot island," a famous island that was mentioned many times in Tang dynasty poems, but has now been part of Hanyang due to the redirection of the river.
