The bridge was designed by architect Dame Zaha Hadid. It will be a single-tower, asymmetric cable-stayed bridge with a 920 metres (3,020 ft) long road, rail and pedestrian deck supported by a single 200-metre-high pylon. When completed in 2025, the bridge will be the longest single-tower, cable-stayed bridge in the world.[5]
The bridge was commissioned by the Directorate General of Highways, and was designed to provide connection to the national highway system and to ease congestion on the Guandu Bridge that is situated further upstream. The construction of the bridge will also facilitate the expansion of the Danhai Light Rail, part of the city's light rail public transport system. Zaha Hadid Architects in collaboration with Sinotech Engineering Consultants and Leonhardt Andra und Partner Beratende Ingenieure have won an international competition to design the Danjiang Bridge.[6]
