−	When it opened in 2001, the 902 foot (275 meter) high Beipanjiang River railway bridge became the highest arch bridge on earth, unseating the 23-year old record long held by West Virginia’s New River Gorge bridge as well as being the second highest bridge of any kind in the world. It also became the World’s Highest Railway bridge, toppling the quarter century record of the Mala Rijeka viaduct in Podgorica, Montenegro. In 2009, the Beipanjiang Railway Bridge Shuibai lost its highest arch title to another Chinese span, the 965 foot (294 mtr) high Zhijinghe road bridge while in 2016, the opening of the Najiehe Railway Bridge and the Beipanjiang Railway Bridge Qinglong pushed it further down in the overall ranking of high railway bridges.	+	When it opened in 2001, the 902 foot (275 meter) high Beipanjiang River railway bridge became the highest arch bridge on earth, unseating the 23-year old record long held by West Virginia’s New River Gorge bridge as well as being the second highest bridge of any kind in the world.

		+	In 2014 the downstream Shannipo Dam created a reservoir that is partially beneath the Beipanjiang Railway Bridge reducing the height to 258 meters with another 17 meters of reservoir hiding the original river level of approximately 868 meters.

	Located southwest of the city of Liupanshui near the north end of China’s Guizhou province on the Shuibai Railway, the Beipanjiang railway bridge crosses an exceptionally deep gorge with vertical cliffs rising hundreds of feet from either side of the Beipan river. The 118 kilometer railway connects Liupanshui and Baiguo with 65% of the track in tunnels or on bridges. The longest tunnel is 7 kilometers.

	An elevation of the railway line descent shows just how unforgiving the Beipanjiang River gorge is to engineers who must confront elevation differences of up to 1,000 meters.

	另一个在北盘江上使用的独特的技术是其两个劲性钢管。施工初期空心的钢管，最后会有混凝土从拱脚基础处向拱顶处进行灌注填充。这一技术最初在20世纪90年在中国使用，之后又被加以完善改进，现在已经在中国多数的钢拱桥上使用。根据桥梁跨度和宽度的不同，许多不同的钢管形式均有使用。对北盘江大桥而言，采用的是水平向哑铃型和单管的混合形式。其他的构造形式，有分离式单管，双哑铃式或者紧促的钢管束（组合式钢管）。一旦强化，混凝土就会固结并加强拱圈，增强整个结构的整体强度。		另一个在北盘江上使用的独特的技术是其两个劲性钢管。施工初期空心的钢管，最后会有混凝土从拱脚基础处向拱顶处进行灌注填充。这一技术最初在20世纪90年在中国使用，之后又被加以完善改进，现在已经在中国多数的钢拱桥上使用。根据桥梁跨度和宽度的不同，许多不同的钢管形式均有使用。对北盘江大桥而言，采用的是水平向哑铃型和单管的混合形式。其他的构造形式，有分离式单管，双哑铃式或者紧促的钢管束（组合式钢管）。一旦强化，混凝土就会固结并加强拱圈，增强整个结构的整体强度。
