The bridge's main cable-stayed bridge span is 780 metres (2,560 ft) long, the ninth longest in the world.[1] The cable stayed section is supported by two 227 metres (745 ft) high towers.[2] Construction of the bridge began in August 2009.[3] The bridge was opened in May, 2013.

The bridge carries traffic between the Haicang District in Xiamen to the north of the bay and Longhai, Zhangzhou to the south.[4] It has six lanes of traffic and a speed limit of 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph). The bridge has reduced the travel time across the bay from 2 hours down to 30 minutes.[5]
