It is reported that the eastern section of the main bridge of the old bridge will be widened by 8 meters, the western section will be widened by 5.95 meters, and the east and west sides of the approach bridge will be widened by 8 meters each. The widened and renovated new bridge will have its deck width increased from 32.5 meters to 49.25 meters, greatly enhancing the cross-border traffic capacity of vehicles entering and exiting Shanghai and Jiangsu, and further alleviating the traffic pressure on the Jialiu section of the G15 Shenhai Expressway.

The New Liuhe Bridge, which was completed and opened to traffic in 2001, is located at the border of Jiading District in Shanghai and Taicang City in Jiangsu Province. The current bridge has a total length of 412 meters.

The Shanghai section of the New Liuhe Bridge will also be directly connected to the under construction G15 Jialiu section. As the first digital twin smart highway demonstration project in Shanghai, the construction of the G15 Jialiu section is also entering the final stage. The lanes have been expanded from the original two-way 6-lane to two-way 8-lane. After the expansion and reconstruction, the New Liuhe Bridge will seamlessly connect with it southward, achieving the opening scale of two-way 8-lane traffic. It is reported that the New Liuhe Bridge is planned to be completed by the end of 2024.
