The Xupu Bridge crosses the Huangpu River in Shanghai, China, and links the Xuhui and Pudong districts. The Shanghai Municipal Engineering Design Institute designed it, and the article lists Shanghai Foundation Engineering Co. as the owner. It opened in 1997.

It is a cable-stayed bridge. The longest span is 1,936 feet (590 meters), the width is 118 feet (36.0 meters), and the height is 697 feet (212.5 meters). It carries eight lanes of the S20 Outer Ring Expressway.

It comes after the Minpu Bridge and before the Lupu Bridge along the river. Engineers have studied its structural health monitoring system and its vibration properties under normal traffic. The article gives no construction dates or materials.
