Luolu Footbridge
落炉大桥
Renhuai, Guizhou, China
492 feet high / 150 meters high
394 foot span / 120 meter span
1992
As of 2015 this dilapidated 2.2 meter wide footbridge still stands 150 meters above the original surface of the Guanyinsi River despite being bypassed in 2003 by a 2-lane arch bridge. Lost in the mountains of Renhuai County, the two bridges cross a deep crevasse with vertical cliffs dropping nearly the full height of the Guanyinsi River gorge. The 9.5 meter wide arch bridge has a main span of 100 meters and a total length of 146 meters.
A downstream dam constructed in the 2000's created a reservoir that has reduced the height of the Luolu bridges by several meters but allows easy boat access into the bottom of the gorge.
The original Luolu footbridge from 1992 still stands 150 meters above the river. Now in a dilapidated state, the bridge is no longer open to the public.
