The Lishui River Bridge (Lishuihe Bridge) (澧水大桥) is a suspension bridge ]near Zhangjiajie, in the Hunan Province of China. The bridge will span 856 m (2,808 ft) over the Lishui River gorge between the Yongding district and the Yongshun district. The bridge is part of an extension of the G5513 Changsha–Zhangjiajie Expressway to Huayuan that cut the 8 hour travel time between Zhangjiajie and Chongqing in half.[1] With 330 m (1,080 ft) of clearance above the river the bridge is set to become one of the world's highest bridges.[2]
Construction
Construction of the bridge began around 2009/2010. An innovative technique was used to carry the pilot line across the gorge by rocket in early 2011. This technique was first used on the nearby Sidu River Bridge. On July 11, 2012 the final truss section was connected completing the main structure of the bridge.[3] The bridge and associated expressway was opened in December 2013.
