The Lupu Bridge, in Shanghai, China, is the world's longest arch bridge. The 2.5 billion yuan (US$302 million), 3,900-meter (12,795 ft) bridge was opened on June 28, 2003. Its main span of 550 meters (1,804 ft) over the Huangpu River is 32 meters (105 ft) longer than the previous recordholder, the New River Gorge Bridge in the Fayetteville, West Virginia, United States.

卢浦大桥，位于中国上海市卢湾区与浦东新区之间的黄浦江上，是世界上主拱桥最长的拱桥、钢拱桥。

卢浦大桥全长3900米，主拱桥长550米，拱顶高于江面100米。比1977年建成的世界上主拱桥第二长美国Fayetteville新河谷桥长32米，完工于2003年6月28日，号称“世界第一拱”。大桥建造耗资约25亿元人民币。

卢浦大桥的车行道并非由拱拖起，而是由拱悬吊的，属于斜拉索、悬索、拱桥为一体的桥梁结构。车行道左右两边的拱几乎在顶点相交，由钢箱梁和27根水平索连接。
