Qujiang Railway Bridge
曲江大桥
Qujiangzhen, Yunnan, China
(328) feet high / (100) meters high
315 foot span / 96 meter span
2013
Qujiang Railway Bridge crosses the Qujiang River in southcentral Yunnan on the Yuxi to Mengxi Railway line. Unlike traditional Chinese railway bridges that are nearly always constructed with concrete beam spans, the Qujiang crossing consists of 3 large trusses, each 96 meters long. Approach spans are more conventional concrete beams with a 32 meter approach on one side and a 32 meter plus 2x 24 meter approach spans on the other. The tallest pier is 92 meters.
The height of the bridge necessitated the use of cantilevered launching truss traveler.
