Beipan River Hukun Expressway Bridge, Suspension bridge spanning Beipan River in Guanling Buyei and Miao Autonomous County, Guizhou, China.

This suspension bridge carries the G60 Hukun Expressway across the Beipan River with a main span of 636 meters and towers rising approximately 160 meters in height.

The bridge opened to traffic on November 27, 2008, becoming the third high crossing of the Beipan River and marking a significant milestone in China's infrastructure development.

The structure represents modern Chinese engineering achievements in connecting mountainous regions and symbolizes the country's technological progress in overcoming geographic obstacles through infrastructure projects.

The bridge is accessible via the G60 expressway with clear signage, and viewing platforms near the structure allow visitors to observe the engineering and surrounding river gorge.

At 318 meters above the Beipan River, the bridge ranks among the fifteen highest bridges in the world, with its east tower alone reaching 1,043 feet.

The longest suspension bridges in the world

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.
