Jinqi Bridge is one of the tallest cable stayed bridges in the world with the north tower rising 300.6 meters from foundation to top. The pier shaft section below the deck measures a jaw-dropping 201.5 meters supporting a span configuration of 169+320+169 meters.
The 672 meter long Maotiao River crossing is the largest structure on the 6-lane Wudang to Changshun Outer Ring Expressway of Guiyang. The diameter of each of the Jinqi Bridge foundation piles is 3.2 meters with the concrete pad dimension of 67.2 meters in length, 28.5 meters in width and 9 meters high.
The two Jinqi towers are 300.6 meters tall from the top of the foundation.

Original plans called for the Maotiaohe Bridge to be a 1,307 meter long suspension bridge with a main span of 850 meters and a height of more than 300 meters. The Karst limestone was considered too weak to support the large suspension cable anchorages.
