Zhuchanghe River Bridge

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 bridge opened to traffic in 2008 as part of infrastructure expansion efforts to improve connectivity across Guizhou Province, addressing the region's challenging mountainous terrain and previously limited accessibility for remote villages.

The structure represents modern Chinese engineering achievements in western development, demonstrating the nation's commitment to connecting remote regions and integrating less accessible areas into the national transportation network for economic growth.

The bridge carries high-volume vehicular traffic on the G60 Shanghai-Kunming Expressway, with the postal code 553519, and undergoes regular maintenance inspections to ensure structural integrity against heavy rainfall and seismic activity.

Ranking among the world's sixty highest bridges as of 2019, the structure stands as one of the tallest concrete beam bridges globally, showcasing advanced construction techniques for crossing deep canyons with minimal riverbed supports.
