Zhuchanghe River Bridge, Concrete beam bridge in Pan County, Liupanshui, Guizhou Province, China.
The Zhuchanghe River Bridge extends 672 meters in total length with a main span of 200 meters, rising 224 meters above the Zhuchanghe River, a tributary of the Beipan River in mountainous Guizhou Province.
The sources do not record a construction or opening date for the Zhuchanghe River Bridge; the current text's 2008 date is unsupported. What is documented is its setting: it carries the G60 Shanghai–Kunming Expressway across the valley of the Zhuchanghe, a small tributary of the Beipan River, in Pan County, Liupanshui, Guizhou. By 2015 it was listed among the world's ten highest rigid-frame bridges.
The bridge carries the G60 Shanghai–Kunming Expressway over the Zhuchanghe, a small tributary of the Beipan River. Its name comes from the river it spans, in Pan County, Liupanshui, Guizhou. Drivers cross a 224-metre-high concrete beam structure, one of the sixty highest bridges in the world as of 2019.
The bridge is a road crossing on the G60 Shanghai–Kunming Expressway, so it is crossed by vehicle traffic rather than on foot; there is no pedestrian walkway or stopping point on the span. Views of the 224-metre drop into the Zhuchanghe valley are therefore had from the expressway itself or from the surrounding valley terrain in Pan County, Liupanshui.
The deck sits 224 metres above the Zhuchanghe, a small tributary of the Beipan River. Chinese sources rank it among the world's ten highest rigid-frame bridges as of 2015, a narrower category than the sixty-highest list of 2019.
