Wuyanghe Bridge
舞阳河特大桥

591 foot span / 180 meter span
2013
Wuyanghe is one of several high beam bridges on the north-south highway between Sinan and the G60 expressway in Guizhou Province. Several different configurations were studied before they decided on a double beam span of 180 meters on piers as high as 120 meters. The other designs included a cable stayed bridge with a span of 270 meters and single span beams as long as 230 meters.
Wuyanghe crosses one of eastern Guizhou's biggest rivers before the expressway meets up with the older G60 expressway. Image by Eric Sakowski / HighestBridges.com
