Puzhehei Bridge, Road bridge in Qiubei County, Yunnan Province, China.
Puzhehei Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge spanning a river valley in northeastern Yunnan Province, connecting communities across the waterway. The structure features towering steel pylons that support the deck high above the reservoir below.
Construction began in the early 2020s as part of an expressway project designed to improve transportation links across the region. The bridge represents a modern effort to increase accessibility to previously isolated communities.
The bridge takes its name from a Yi language term meaning "lake with fish and shrimp", linking the structure to the fishing and farming traditions of the region. This naming reflects how locals traditionally understood and used the waterway below.
The crossing is designed to handle traffic safely with a wide, well-maintained roadway surface suitable for various vehicle types. Access from both sides connects smoothly to the surrounding road networks in the region.
The bridge was completed recently in 2024 and stands as a technical achievement in modern engineering. Its recent completion makes it one of the newest large-scale infrastructure projects in the region.
