Hidden behind a mountain that separates it from the huge Aizhai suspension bridge, this prestressed beam bridge is quite a structure in its own right as it carries a 4-lane highway across a deep ravine and into the Aizhai suspension bridge tunnel.
The Aizhai Beam Bridge has a span configuration of 88+2x145+116+67 meters on a pier as tall as 94 meters.

隐藏在雄伟的矮寨悬索桥背后的大山中的这座梁桥，是一座预应力梁式结构，也具有其结构上的特别之处，因为它的四车道桥面跨立在深谷之上，并通过隧道与矮寨悬索桥直接相连。
