Xiangyang Number 1 Bridge is a long viaduct that crosses the upper reaches of the Longtan Dam reservoir along the S26 Expressway in Guangxi Province. The cantilevered main beam has a span configuration of 77+145+77 meters.

Just to the east is the massive Tian'e Longtan Bridge that became the longest span arch bridge in the world at 600 meters. Unlike previous record breaking arch spans that have always been made of steel, the Longtan Tianhu Bridge is made of concrete. Steel was only used internally as part of a skeleton core that was encased in concrete. Prior to Tian'e Longtan Bridge, the longest concrete arch was the Beipanjiang Qinglong Railway Bridge with a span of 445 meters.

The Nandan to Xialaoxiang Expressway links the G75 and G69 expressways.
