Yangpu is among the world's longest bridges, with a total length of 8354 meters.

It carries the Inner Ring Road from the Yangpu District in Puxi to the Pudong New Area.

The highest ship clearance is 48 m, a necessity due to the heavy river traffic.

The bridge was originally unpainted; it was coated with red paint for the millennium.

The name Yangpu Bridge (杨浦大桥) inscribed on each pylon was originally hand-written by Deng Xiaoping.
