 A "sequel" of sorts to the Aizhai suspension bridge located 100 kilometers to the south, the Lishuihe suspension bridge crosses another deep gorge in China's Hunan Province on the S10 Zhanghua east-west expressway that links up to the G65 expressway and Chongqing Province to the west.  The route is especially popular with tourists headed to the famous Zhangjiajie and Tianmen Mountain Scenic areas.
-Given how narrow the river gap is at the bridge site crossing, the main span seems to be unusually long at 2,803 feet (856 meters).  Due to karst caves, the cliff walls on the east side were found to be unstable and so the engineers moved the east tower further back from the canyon rim.

 The truss has a depth of 6.5 meters with hangar sections spaced 12 meters apart.

 Lishuihe is only the second bridge in history to use a rocket to carry the first pilot line across the gorge.  This unusual technique was first done in 2006 during the construction of the Siduhe Bridge in nearby Hubei Province.  Like most of China's big suspension spans, the Lishuihe towers support a central truss with unsuspended side spans.
