The Dimuhe River Bridge is a suspension bridge currently under construction near Liupanshui, Guizhou, China. Once complete the bridge, at 360 m (1,180 ft), will be one of the highest in world. The bridge will form part of the G56 Hangzhou–Ruili Expressway between Liupanshui and Bijie is expected to open in 2016.

Although Dimuhe River Bridge is officially 360 metres high, the bridge will cross over a reservoir, to leave 340 metres from the deck to the lake surface when the reservoir is full. The reservoir is on the Sancha River, the headwaters of the Wu River.
