Design competition win

The competition, initiated by the New Area authorities, sought an iconic and recognisable landmark for the Pudong Canal crossing—a vital traffic gateway for the region.

A true gateway to Pudong

Our design was selected for its innovative approach, seamlessly blending functionality with landmark architecture. The double-arched structure features interlocking forms symbolising friendship, exchange, and inclusivity, making it a true "gateway to Pudong." The design reflects strategic positioning and a deep understanding of urban integration, transportation, and the local context.

Elegant form

Spanning the Pudong Canal, the 350m-long and 98m-wide bridge is designed to accommodate six lanes of elevated two-way traffic and ten auxiliary ground-level lanes. Its elegant form, thoughtful alignment with navigation clearance, and adherence to height restrictions ensure practicality without compromising aesthetics.

Chapman Taylor is honoured to collaborate with Shanghai Pudong Project Construction Management Co., Ltd. on this landmark project, setting a new standard for gateway architecture in Shanghai.
