Sidu River Bridge, Suspension bridge in Badong County, China.
The Sidu River Bridge spans a total length of one thousand two hundred twenty-two meters with a main span of nine hundred meters, crossing the deep Sidu River valley in Hubei Province.
Officially opened on November fifteenth, two thousand nine, the bridge held the world record for the tallest suspension bridge at four hundred ninety-six meters above the valley until two thousand sixteen.
The construction of this bridge marks a significant achievement in Chinese engineering and showcases the country's ability to build large-scale infrastructure projects in challenging mountainous terrain across the nation.
The bridge serves as a critical section of the G50 Huyu Expressway, enabling vehicles to cross the valley and reducing travel time significantly for residents and commercial transport in the region.
The structure employs reinforced concrete and steel cables, with the deck positioned approximately five hundred meters above the river, making it a notable example of high-altitude bridge engineering.
