Caijiagou Railway Bridge Yuwan
渝万高铁蔡家沟特大桥
Liduzhen, Chongqing, China
574 feet high / 175 meters high
472 foot span / 144 meter span
2026
The Caijiagou Railway Bridge Yuwan is the second of three massive parallel high speed railway viaducts that cross Caijia Creek between Fuling and Chongqing Cities. All 3 of these colossal structures are arguably the largest high level railway viaducts ever built with most of their two kilometer lengths measuring over 100 meters high.
The pier on the newer, second Caijiagou Railway Bridge on the HSR line between Wanzhou and Chongqing is 150.5 meters tall surpassing the older Caijiagou Railway viaduct's pier height of 139 meters. Only the 164.5 meter pier of the Xiangjiang Railway Bridge, the 154 meter pier of the Yuanjiang Railway Bridge and the 150 meter pier of the Luozehe Railway Bridge are comparable. The side piers are also very tall at 136 and 107 meters supporting the 3 main spans of 144 meters.
In 2030 the third Caijiagou Railway Bridge will open with an even taller pier of 165 meters.
The second Caijiagou Yuwan Railway Bridge has a length of 2,133 meters versus 2,105 meters on the older Yu-Li Railway line viaduct.
The entire Chongqing to Wanzhou HSR line has approximately a dozen bridges that exceed 90 meters in height. Just to the east is the massive Xinqiao Railway Bridge that also parallels the older Yu-Li Xinqiao viaduct and measures 106.5 meters high.
