Liuguanghe Xiqian Expressway Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Guizhou, China

The Liuguanghe Xiqian Expressway Bridge extends 1,280 meters across the Yachi River, featuring a central span of 580 meters supported by concrete pylons.

The construction of this bridge, completed in 2017, marked a significant advancement in the expansion of Guizhou's transportation network connecting Xiuwen and Qianxi regions.

This bridge represents the engineering capabilities of Guizhou Province, where over 30,000 bridges have been constructed since the 1970s to overcome mountainous terrain.

The bridge carries four traffic lanes and maintenance walkways, maintaining a height of 375 meters above the riverbed to accommodate vessels beneath.

The western pylon of the bridge reaches 248 meters in height, while the water level varies due to the Wujiangdu Dam's reservoir 50 kilometers downstream.

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.
