 The longest span towerless suspension bridge crossing in the world, the Litanghe Bridge is one of 3 major suspension bridges along the amazing G7611 Xichang to Shangri Expressway.  The main span of 696 meters rests between two tunnels with the deck being supported only by the two main cables that are anchored directly into tunnels bored into the mountain cliffs nearly 300 meters above the Litang River.  The 506 meter long deck will be 123 meters above the reservoir surface which is at least 112 meters deep at the crossing.

+In 2025 a temporary ropeway with a span of 665 meters was built to facilitate easy access of men and materials across the canyon.  When the bridge is open the gondola will become a tourist attraction.
 Just 20 kilometers to the south of Litanghe Bridge is the gargantuan 1,680 meter main span of the Lugu Lake Bridge, the longest span high level bridge in the world with a deck almost 500 meters high.
