The Jintang Bridge (Chinese金塘 大桥, Pinyin Jintang Daqiao ) is a 21,029 -meter-long highway bridge in China, which connects the island to the mainland and Jintang from the Ningbo - Zhoushan motorway ( G9211 ) is used. The Jintang Bridge is one of the longest road bridges in the world.

The building is a pre-stressed concrete girder bridge, only the main opening in the center is formed by a cable-stayed bridge with steel beam support. It has a wingspan of 620 feet and can be run simultaneously from two bulk carriers of 50,000 tons. On the east side there is another opening for the boat trip with 216 meter span and on the west side is one with 156 meters. The rest of the bridge is divided into different sections with continuous beams, consisting of a total of 344 mostly 60 meters long fields.

The construction cost of the bridge amounted to 7.7 billion RMB, the equivalent of 1.5 billion U.S. dollars. The opening was originally scheduled for November 2009 but was delayed by one month in March 2008 after a cargo ship collided with the bridge and plunged one of the 3,000 tons of heavy boxes into the sea.
