Kaizhouhu Bridge, Suspension bridge in Guizhou Province, China
This suspension bridge spans approximately 4,124 feet across the Qingshui River, featuring a main span of 3,609 feet and a deck height of 456 feet above the water below.
Completed and officially opened in 2021, this bridge replaced older crossings in the area and significantly improved transportation efficiency and safety across the rugged terrain of Guizhou Province.
The bridge provides access to areas inhabited by diverse ethnic groups including the Miao and Dong peoples, whose traditional festivals and customs remain central to local identity and heritage.
The bridge is accessible year-round for vehicular traffic and features designated observation areas where travelers can stop to view the surrounding mountains and river valleys from the roadside.
Its main span of 3,609 feet makes this one of the longest suspension bridge spans in western China, showcasing advanced cable engineering designed to withstand seismic activity and strong winds.

This collection gathers bridges that hold world records for span length, defined as the distance between two main pylons. While the longest bridge in the world measures 165 kilometers in China, this refers to the maximum span covered in one continuous structure. These constructions demonstrate engineering achievements in crossing maritime straits, rivers, or valleys without intermediate supports. The Çanakkale Bridge in Turkey crosses the Dardanelles Strait with a span of 2,023 meters, setting the current record for suspension bridges. In Japan, the Akashi Strait Bridge connects Kobe to Awaji Island with a central span of 1,991 meters. In China, several bridges exceed 1,600 meters in span, such as the Yangsigang Bridge over the Yangtze in Wuhan or the Xihoumen Bridge in the Zhoushan Archipelago. South Korea with the Yi Sun-sin Bridge, Denmark with the Great Belt Bridge, and Turkey with the Osman Gazi Bridge complete this list of remarkable structures. These bridges are interesting destinations for observing modern civil engineering accomplishments. They connect cities and regions, significantly reducing travel times while offering scenic views of the landscapes they cross. Visiting them allows appreciation of the scope of work involved in constructing these infrastructures under often challenging conditions.
