Beipan River Shuibai Railway Bridge

Beipan River Shuibai Railway Bridge, Railway arch bridge in Guizhou, China

The Beipan River Shuibai Railway Bridge is an upper-deck arch bridge over the Beipan River near Liupanshui, Guizhou. Its deck reaches a maximum height of 275 metres, and its main arch spans 236 metres. The bridge carries the Shuihong Railway, whose trains cross the gorge on the structure.

The bridge was completed in 2001 and initially became the world's highest railway bridge for its time. The record stood until 2016 when other railway bridges surpassed this achievement.

The bridge carries the Shuibai Railway, opened in 2001; in September 2004 the ministry merged the Baiguo–Hongguo section of the Panxi Railway into it and renamed the line the Shuihong Railway. Trains still cross the gorge on it, and the name Beipanjiang simply refers to the river below.

The bridge carries the Shuibai Railway, which was renamed the Shui-Hong Railway in September 2004 when the Ministry of Railways merged the Baiguo–Hongguo section of the Panxi Railway into it. Trains still cross the 236 m main span at 275 m above the Beipan River, so the deck is best seen from the canyon rim near Liupanshui.

The bridge held the title of the world's highest railway bridge for 15 years, from 2001 until 2016, when the nearby Hukun high-speed railway bridge over the same river surpassed it. Its deck sits 275 metres above the Beipan River, and its main arch spans 236 metres.
