       The Jiaxing-Shaoxing Bridge starts from Haining City, Jiaxing City in the north and connects to Shangyu District, Shaoxing City in the south. It is another bridge spanning Hangzhou Bay, following the Hangzhou Bay Bridge.

The bridge deck is 40.5 meters wide, with 8 lanes, and a design speed of 100 kilometers per hour. The Jiaxing-Shaoxing Bridge is the longest and widest multi-tower cable-stayed bridge in the world. The main bridge is 2680 meters long, with 5 main navigable channels, and a total width of 55.6 meters (including the cable area). The number of cable towers and the length of the main bridge are the largest in the world.

       The bridge adopts a cable-stayed bridge design. The main bridge consists of 5 continuous spans of cable-stayed bridges, each spanning 428 meters. The main navigable channel of the bridge can accommodate 3000-ton container ships. The bridge uses large-diameter bored piles (3.8 meters in diameter and more than 110 meters deep). The concrete pouring volume of a single pile exceeds 1300 cubic meters, making it the largest single pile in the world in diameter.
