One of the last expressways to be built outward from the colossal city of Xian, the 94 kilometer Xianyang-Chunhua-Xunyi Expressway is a typical Shaanxi Province artery that crosses large plateaus punctuated by several deep canyons. Jiangyuanhe Bridge is one of 4 beam bridge giants on the northern end that have skyscraper-sized piers including the 183 meter monsters of the Sanshuihe Bridge - the world's largest beam bridge viaduct.
Located at kilometer 72, Jiangyuanhe has 3 large central spans of 165 meters resting on piers 80, 122, 132 and 127 meters tall. The total length of the bridge is 958 meters.
