Shennongxi Bridge is the highest and arguably most spectacular of many high bridges along the G42 Hurong expressway that traverses along the north side of the famous 3 Gorges region of the Yangtze River between the cities of Yichang and Wanzhou. Other spectacular spans along the route include the Daninghe River arch bridge, the Pengxihe and Meixihe cable stayed bridges and the Tangxihe beam bridge.

Shennongxi Bridge does not have a particularly large span of 320 meters but the two main towers of Shennongxi are impressive standing 191.8 and 195.8 meters from base to top. The configuration also includes a 150 meter long prestressed beam span. The approach spans are all 30 meters. The total length of the bridge is 1,150 meters. The deck width is 27.1 meters with a depth of 3 meters. The cable stays are spaced 8 meters or 5 meters apart except at the towers where the gap is 14 meters.

The height of the bridge deck is approximately 225 meters as measured to the old level of the Shennongxi River surface but the deep 3 Gorges reservoir created by the massive dam near Yichang leaves the deck only 171 meters above the full pool water elevation of 175 meters above sea level.
