The Yangsigang Yangtze River Bridge connects the Hanyang District and Wuchang District. It starts at the Guobo Cross-line Bridge in the west, crosses the Yangtze River waterway, and ends at the Batan Interchange in the east. The upper deck serves as a fast-moving passage and sightseeing route, with pedestrian walkways' railings adorned with many cut-out copper sculptures featuring iconic Wuhan landmarks, such as the White Cloud and Yellow Crane, Yingwuzhou Yangtze River Bridge, and Wuhan University. The lower deck is designated for slow city traffic, accommodating electric vehicles and bicycles crossing the river.
Standing on the upper deck of the Yangsigang Yangtze River Bridge, one can enjoy the magnificent scenery of the main axis of the Yangtze River in Wuhan, along with the riverbanks and beaches on both sides. The view also includes the architectural skyline of Wuchang, with the Wuhan Greenland Center standing as the highest point, the Wuhan National Expo Center on the Hanyang bank, and the towering skyline of high-rise buildings on the Hankou side of the Yangtze River. On a clear day, one can even see the upstream Baishazhou Yangtze River Bridge, Zhuankou Yangtze River Bridge, as well as the downstream Yingwuzhou Yangtze River Bridge, Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, Second Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, and even the Erqi Yangtze River Bridge.
