The Jinshajiang Wudongde Bridge is one of China's highest suspension bridges with a deck almost 500 meters above the original level of the Jinshajiang River. The main span of 1,180 meters is supported by towers as tall as 297 meters. The crossing spans over the deep waters of the Wudongde Dam reservoir that extends for dozens of kilometers along China's famous Jinshajiang (Yangtze River). The full reservoir surface is approximately 145 meters above the original 830 meter level of the Jinshajiang River.

The Wudongde Bridge is the main project along the Huili-Luquan Expressway that goes from the G4216 Yibin-Panzhihua Expressway in Huidong to the Wudongde-Luquan Expressway in Yunnan Province.
