The Guangzhou Nansha Juxing Bridge is situated in the heart of the Central Business District along the Jiaomen River in the Nansha New Area. It is a pedestrian bridge featuring a three-legged steel box arch structure with an exceptionally large span of 155 meters and an ultra-flat rise-to-span ratio of 1/20. The bridge spans the confluence of the Jiaomen River and Wuzhou Creek, providing the shortest possible connection among the three riverbanks with optimal convenience.

The Juxing Bridge adopts a design concept of "three banks joining hands, gathering new stars." It employs a Y-shaped, 120-degree symmetrical three-legged steel spatial beam-arch composite system with spans of (86+86+86) meters, stretching across the confluence of the two rivers to connect the three banks via the shortest distance. The overall configuration is Y-shaped, with a single-leg deck width ranging from 10.2 to 21 meters. The entire steel girder is divided into 95 segments, with a total steel consumption of approximately 4,000 metric tons.Taking into account various controlling constraints including architectural space, structural scale, geological conditions, and economic indicators, the project pioneered an effective solution for large-span three-legged flat arch bridges on soft soil foundations. This innovation has been thoroughly validated through real-bridge monitoring and inspection, filling a domestic patent gap in the field of three-legged star-shaped pedestrian landscape bridges.

On November 12, at the 2024 IABSE (International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering) Awards Ceremony held in Zurich, Switzerland, the Nansha Tri-directional Arch Pedestrian Bridge (Guangzhou Nansha Juxing Bridge), jointly designed by Architects & Engineers Co., Ltd. of Southeast University and Academician He Jingtang's Team from South China University of Technology, was shortlisted for the IABSE Award for Pedestrian and Cycle Bridges.
