 The 5th highest beam span on earth, the Furongjiang River Bridge is a 2-lane crossing with an unusually large main span of 230 meters.  The bridge is very similar to the Liuguanghe Bridge in Guizhou Province but about 25 percent lower in height.
-Located in a remote region of Chongqing Province, the Furong River is one of Western China's largest rivers emptying into the even greater Wujiang River about 25 kilometers downstream of the bridge.  The span configuration is 132 +230 +132 meters with approach spans adding up to a total length of 539 meters and a width of 9 meters.

 During the final stage of construction, an unfortunate accident occurred when an aerial cableway container holding more then 20 workers fell 9 meters onto the partially built road deck after the cable snapped.  11 workers died and 12 more were seriously injured from the tragic incident which took place at around 10pm in heavy rain.
