During the infrastructure boom of the past two decades, bridge-building has proceeded at a rapid pace on a vast scale. Notably, prior to the completion of the [[Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge]] in 1957, there were no [[Yangtze River bridges and tunnels|bridges across the Yangtze River]], [[Yangtze River|China's longest]], from [[Yibin]] to [[Shanghai]], and all overland road and railways crossing this 2,884&nbsp;km (1,792&nbsp;mi.) stretch of the river required ferries. In 1992, there were only seven [[Yangtze River bridges and tunnels|such bridges]], but by the end of 2012, the tally had reached 73, including eight new openings in that year alone. Some notable bridges include:

* [[Chaotianmen Bridge]], the largest arch bridge in the world by main span length
* [[Xihoumen Bridge]], the second-longest suspension bridge in the world ranked by the length of the centre span
* [[Danyang–Kunshan Grand Bridge]], the longest bridge of any type in the world
* [[Jiaozhou Bay Bridge]], the world's longest bridge over water
