The Fuling Qingcaobei Yangtze River Bridge is the third longest span across the Yangtze to be located upstream of the 3 Gorges Dam. Completed in 2013, the 788 meter suspension span uses a thin steel box deck supported by towers as tall as 183.44 meters. The most unusual design element of the bridge is the use of a cantilevered double beam span of 90+90 meters on the south end. This is the only suspension bridge in the world I know of that has a prestressed beam span for the approach span leading up to the main suspension span. Located at km49, the bridge has normal approach spans of 35 meters for a total length of 1,652 meters.
