One key project in the Chinese city of Fuzhou is Langqi Min River Bridge, which connects the business and technology district with downtown Fuzhou. The main bridge is a twin‐pylon cable‐stayed structure with a main span of 680 m and a steel box girder. This paper presents the detailed design features of the bridge, including foundations, anti‐ship collision devices, pylons, steel box girder and stay cables.
