Silahe S212 Bridge
新斯拉河大桥
Shangpingzhaixiang, Guizhou, China
(558) feet high / (170) meters high
492 foot span / 150 meter span
2021
The Silahe S212 Bridge is a 150 meter span cantilevered beam bridge supported on piers as tall as 72 meters. The high level crossing bypasses the 1990 concrete truss arch bridge.
The concrete truss-arch has become a discontinued type of bridge span in China as a number of them developed cracks and other issues that forced either closure or replacement. So far the Silahe Bridge seems to be holding its own with a clean bill of health since its opening in 1990.
The Silahe Bridge deck is about 40 meters above the full reservoir level formed by a downstream dam but is at least 90 meters above the original level of the Sancha River.
