Beipanjiang Bridge, formerly known as Nizhu River Bridge, is located at the junction of Guizhou and Yunnan provinces in China. It is part of the Beipanjiang Bridge in Bidu on the Hangrui Expressway. The bridge is 1,341.4 meters long, with a maximum span of 720 meters and a vertical distance of 565.4 meters from the bridge deck to the river surface, equivalent to the height of a 200-story building. It is currently the world's tallest and second-largest span steel truss cable-stayed bridge.
Beipanjiang Bridge is not only an engineering miracle, but also part of a magnificent natural landscape. The bridge deck adopts the standard of a two-way four-lane expressway with a design speed of 80 kilometers per hour. The bridge closely connects Guizhou and Yunnan and has become an important transportation hub between the two provinces.
The construction of Beipanjiang Bridge not only demonstrates the advanced technology of China's bridge engineering, but also has won global recognition, winning the title of "World's Highest Bridge" certified by Guinness World Records Co., Ltd., as well as the highest honors for engineering quality in the national construction industry, the "Lu Ban Award" and the Zhan Tianyou Award.
The completion of this bridge not only promoted the development of the local economy, but also became a popular tourist destination, attracting many tourists to experience its unique architectural style and amazing building height. Beipanjiang Bridge is not only a bridge, but also a symbol connecting people and nature, history and modernity.
