Liuguanghe Bridge is a 305-metre-high (1,001 ft)[1] beam bridge at Liu Guangzhen, Guizhou, China. It held the record for world's highest bridge between 2001 and 2003, surpassing the 72-year-old, 291-metre-high (955 ft) Royal Gorge Bridge, until the opening of the 366 m (1,201 ft) Beipan River Guanxing Highway Bridge. As of 2011[update], it is still the highest beam bridge and is among the twenty highest bridges in the world.
The Liuguanghe Bridge forms part of China National Highway 321 between Bijie and Guiyang and has a 240-metre-long (790 ft) span. The highest pillar, which sits on the edge of a steep, deep valley, is 90 metres high.
