The Kangbo Yangtze River Bridge (Chinese: 康博长江二桥), was called Second Hejiang Bridge, is a highway bridge over the Yangtze River in Hejiang County, Sichuan, China. The bridge is on the G93 Chengdu–Chongqing Ring Expressway just 10 kilometres west of the Bosideng Bridge. It was originally called Hejiang Bridge 2 since Bosideng Bridge was first called Hejiang Bridge 1.[2] The bridge has a length of 1,715 metres (5,627 ft) and is 30 metres (98 ft) wide. Its two pylons are each 208 metres (682 ft) high, making the bridge to the one with the highest pylons in Sichuan.[1]
