The Jingyue Yangtze River Bridge (simplified Chinese: 荆岳大桥; traditional Chinese: 荊岳大橋; pinyin: Jīngyuè Dàqiáo) is a cable-stayed bridge over the Yangtze River between Jianli County, Hubei Province and Yueyang, Hunan Province in central China.[2] The Bridge opened in June 2010.[3] The bridge crosses the Yangtze River and is one of the largest cable-stayed bridges in the world. The bridge was tolled a few months after opening.
