Liuguanghe Xiqian Expressway Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Guizhou, China
Liuguanghe Xiqian Expressway Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge that crosses a river deep in Guizhou's mountains. Two large concrete towers support the main span and carry traffic lanes across the valley.
The bridge was completed in 2017 as part of a broader effort to connect remote mountain areas in Guizhou. Its opening marked a major step in improving access to the region.
The bridge shows how engineering has shaped transportation through mountain country. Visitors see a structure that represents the solutions people found to connect isolated regions.
The bridge carries vehicle traffic and spans a deep valley with significant elevation differences. The structure is visible from various vantage points along the approach roads and creates an impressive sight from below.
One of the western towers stands notably tall and dominates the overall design of the bridge. The river below is affected by a dam built downstream, which causes the water level to fluctuate seasonally.
