Located in Gongshu District of Hangzhou, Canal Bay Pedestrian Bridge is open to traffic on a trial basis at the beginning of the New Year.

The bridge project adopts the inverted Fink truss structure, with a total length of 181.8 m (including the main span length of 150 m) and a width of 8 m. It has obtained the Guinness Certificate, regarded as the inverted Fink truss bridge with the largest single span in the world at present.

The design of the bridge is inspired by the outline of cargo ships on Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The appearance of the bridge structure is similar to that of the canal transport ship. The cable columns on the bridge are inspired by the hull mast. The bridge is very beautiful in shape.
