Zhijing River Bridge

Zhijing River Bridge was the highest arch bridge in the world upon its completion in 2009. An arch bridge is an extension with projections at each end molded as a bended curve. Curve spans work by exchanging the heaviness of the extension and its heaps in part into a level push controlled by the projections at either side. A viaduct might be produced using a progression of curves, albeit other more efficient structures are commonly utilized today.

With a primary range of 430 meters the extension is additionally one of the 20 longest curve connects on the planet. The scaffold is situated between the towns of Yesanguan and Dazhiping in Badong County of the Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of Hubei Province. The world's most elevated scaffold the Sidu River Bridge is arranged just 20km eastwards along the G50 Shanghai to Chongqing Expressway.
