The Qingshui River Bridge (Qingshuihe Bridge) is a suspension bridge in Guizhou, China. The bridge, measuring 406 m (1,332 ft) above the Qingshuihe River, is the second highest in world.[1][2] It is also one of the longest bridges with a main span of 1,130 m (3,710 ft).[1]
The two towers of the suspension bridge are 230 m (750 ft) and 224 m (735 ft) tall. The main span uses a steel truss for deck support and stiffening.[1]
The bridge is part of the Guiweng Expressway.[1] The bridge cost ¥1.54billion (£158million). The bridge was built to improve transport in the region and will shorten the travel distance between Weng'an County and Guiyang from 100 miles down to 23 miles. The bridge was opened for traffic on December 31, 2015.[3]
