One of the largest cable stayed bridges in either Guizhou or Guanxi Provinces, the Hongshuihe Bridge traverses over a deep reservoir from the Longtan dam located 65 kilometers downstream. With a central span of 508 meters, the engineers were able to cross the lake with no underwater piers. This required towers 195 meters tall supporting a configuration of 2x20 +213+508+185 meters. The total length of the bridge is 956 meters and is located at kilometer 113 on the G69 Huiluo Expressway.
The tallest tower measures 195 meters supporting a deck 27.7 meters wide with a height of 3.175 meters. The full reservoir level of 375 meters was reduced from a design level of 400 meters.
