Haizhu Bridge () is an iron bridge across the Pearl River in Guangzhou, China. The bridge runs from Haizhu Square in Yuexiu District, and south towards Jiangnan Avenue in Haizhu District. Haizhu Bridge was the first bridge to be built across the Pearl River in Guangzhou. Work started in 1929 and ended in 1933, and was completed by the American contractor Markton Company. 〔NewsGD.com: (“Haizhu bridge undergoes physical checkup” ), 13 June 2006.
