The Meixi River Bridge is an arch bridge which crosses the Meixi River in Fengjie, Chongqing, China. It replaced an earlier suspension bridge across the river built in 1990. Completed in 2000, The bridge was constructed 140 metres (460 ft) above the river however the reservoir created by the construction of the Three Gorges Dam has increased the height of the water below the bridge and the full clearance is no longer visible. The bridge spans 288 metres (945 ft) ranking among the longest arch bridges in the world. The bridge is located very near the end of the river and can been seen by boats travelling along the Yangtze River.
