The new Longwangmiao Railway Bridge is another high pier and beam viaduct on the greatest high bridge railway in the world - the Yichang to Wanzhou Railway line. With more than 70 percent of the route either in a tunnel or on a bridge, the complex geology of the terrain has forced the engineers to overcome landslides, falling rock and steep terrain. The line has an unprecedented 4 bridges that exceed 100 meters in height including Luobuxi, Mashuihe and Dukouhe.
Massive, conical shaped piers support two main spans of 381 feet (116 mtrs). The total length of the bridge is 3,028 feet (923 mtrs).
龙王庙铁路桥是世界最高桥梁铁路线——宜万铁路——上的又一座高墩梁式结构高架桥。宜万铁路眼线70%以上的部分都或是隧道或是桥梁，复杂的地形地貌的地质条件要求工程师们克服山体滑坡、泥石流以及陡峭艰险的环境。该线上海由另外4座大桥，超过100米高，包括落步溪、马水河和渡口河大桥。
巨大的圆锥型的桥墩支撑起两个116米的主跨。全桥长达923米。
