Zangkejiang Bridge, Suspension bridge in Guizhou Province, China.
The Zangkejiang Bridge is a steel truss suspension bridge stretching 1,849 meters across the Zangke River, featuring a main span of 1,080 meters and a deck positioned 410 meters above the water surface below.
Construction of the bridge began on November 18, 2021, as part of the Naqing Expressway project to connect Nayong County and Qinglong County, with completion scheduled for February 14, 2025.
The bridge represents regional development in southwestern China, connecting remote communities in Guizhou Province and enabling improved economic exchanges between the Liupanshui region and Qianxinan Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture.
The bridge accommodates a dual carriageway with four lanes designed for speeds up to 100 kilometers per hour, and is accessible year-round with regular maintenance to ensure safety during adverse weather conditions.
The south tower rises 265 meters in height, with substantial sections extending below the truss level to support the enormous span across the deep limestone canyon carved by the Beipanjiang River system.

This collection presents the tallest bridges on Earth, measured by their clearance height above the ground or water below. Most of these structures are located in China, spanning deep gorges and river valleys across the provinces of Guizhou, Yunnan, Hubei, and Sichuan. The designs employ various construction methods including suspension bridges, cable-stayed bridges, and arch bridges. The collection also features notable high bridges in Mexico, India, and Papua New Guinea. These structures demonstrate how modern engineering overcomes difficult mountainous terrain and creates new transportation links. The bridges serve as critical infrastructure for regions previously separated by natural barriers.
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.
