Nanpu Bridge

The Nanpu bridge near Shanghai in China is unquestionably one of the longest bridges in the world, measuring a total of almost 5.15 miles. As there are many other, much more beautiful bridges dotting the skylines of contemporary Chinese towns, the bridge alone isn't very noteworthy on its own. Instead, the system of circular ramps that it has on its Shanghai side to help with traffic flow during peak hours is its main draw.

It's a huge, multi-level ramp that connects numerous distinct roads to the bridge and other roads with smaller ramps of its own. Large junctions in various cities across the world are comparable to this one; nevertheless, this intersection's main objective is to seamlessly divert traffic to the bridge.

Before it was made accessible to the general public in 1991, ferries were the only means of crossing the Huangpu River. Since the bridge allowed for the quick development and industrialization of the districts on the other side, it is now one of the busiest roads in Shanghai.
