The giant Xianghuoyan Footbridge assisted workers in the construction of the only arch bridge on the the newer 6-lane Guizun expressway that parallels the older G75 expressway from Guiyang city to Zunyi city in central Guizhou Province. The beautiful red span leaps across the remote Xianghuoyan Scenic Area that is accessible to hikers looking for an afternoon of waterfalls, cliffwalks and caves.
The simple 260 meter long suspension span had a mesh lined walkway that hung 105 meters above the creek.
