五里坡特大桥
Qianyang, Shaanxi, China
564 feet high / 172 meters high
525 foot span / 160 meter span
2011
The giant Wulipo Bridge is one of those viaducts that really likes to show off its legs in a way that few spans can do. Stretching across a wide valley in Shaanxi Province along the Baoji-Shaanxi-Gansu Expressway, the bridge is composed of four main spans of 160 meters. But its those piers that demand to be noticed with the tallest rising 153 meters along with 2 more that exceed 100 meters. With a total length of 1,238 meters, this is among the 30 largest viaducts on earth.
The four main beam spans are composed of single-cell boxes with a top width of 12.9 meters and a bottom width of 7 meters. The beam depth is 9.5 meters over the piers and 3.5 meters deep at midspan. Maximum pier height is 153 meters with a maximum deck width of 26 meters.
The viaduct is the highest of 3 giant Baohan Expressway bridges that skirt along the Fengjiashan reservoir about 10 kilometers east of Qianyang in Shaanxi Province. The other two are Jiankou and Nancun Bridges.
