Located along an old transportation route that was part of the famous Silk Road, the Jiangdihe arch bridge was a replacement for a much lower level arch bridge that was completed in 1956 and had become neglected. Prior to these spans there was a chain suspension bridge with a span of 80 meters. The new concrete arch measures 221.65 meters long.
