There are hundreds of bridges in Western China that are higher then Jingxiu Bridge but in the eastern part of China where there are only around two dozen high bridges with the coastal provinces, the Jingxiu Bridge appears quite high at 85 meters.
Jingiu Bridge is actually two parallel viaducts that are unusual for separating around 75 meters apart as they travel across the canyon from one set of tunnels to the other. Maybe the rock geology was too poor to have the side by side tunnels so close together.
The 322 meter long structure has a span configuration of 3x25 +50+90+50 +2x25 meters on piers as tall as 63.5 meters.
