Qingshui River Bridge

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 third highest suspension bridge in world. It is also one of the longest bridges with a main span of 1,130 m (3,710 ft).

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.

The bridge is part of the Guiweng Expressway. 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.
