Liujiashan Bridge
刘家山大桥
Siduzhen, Guizhou, China
295 feet high / 90 meters high
656 foot span / 200 meter span

Liujiashan Bridge is unusual for having a large main span of 200 meters despite being only 90 meters high. The decision to leap across the canyon with only 2 main support piers in the valley was probably due to unstable slopes that could easily be avoided by cantilevering over them with large back spans.

The G75 expressway has several other giant beam spans of similar size including the Wujiang Viaduct, Hanjiadian #1 and Anwen Bridges.
