Dubu Bridge #2 is a seven span prestressed beam bridge with a maximum span length of 328 feet (100 mtrs) that curves along the slope of a mountain. Maximum pier height is 302 feet (92 mtrs). Nearby Dubu Bridge #1 is even larger with a maximum span length of 410 feet (125 mtrs) and a pier height of 361 feet (110 mtrs). A long tunnel separates the two structures. You can see a bit of the first bridge and more of the second during the first two minutes of this video that was taken by a passing bus passenger: http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/LESdFORTExI/
