Dahe Bridge is the second longest span high level bridge in the world with a tower to tower distance of 1,250 meters. The giant crossing is also the longest span bridge ever built in Guizhou Province, a region of China with several other colossal suspension bridges that include Qingshuihe, Balinghe, Beipanjiang Hukun, Chishuihe Chajiaotan, Malinghe Three and Dimuhe Bridges.
Several types of bridge were studied including a giant Millau-like cable stayed viaduct and a multi-span beam bridge. The Dahe Bridge west tower will also be the second tallest suspension bridge tower in the world after Japan's Akashi Kaikyo Bridge with a foundation to tower top difference of 270 meters.
