The bridge has a long and narrow speedway and does not allow vehicles that do not meet the weight requirements.

On 29 January 2014, Shanghai's urban planning authorities announced that they would build a second bridge combining road and rail to help meet growing transport demands for the Yangshan Deep-Water Port.^[1] Plans from 2019 show that this second bridge is proposed to connect Shanghai to Ningbo via Yangshan port.^[2]
