Leiwei Bridge is a cantilevered beam bridge along the Leye to Wangmo Expressway in Guangxi Province. The main span of 120 meters is supported on piers as tall as 92 meters.

Several kilometers west on the Lewang Expressway is the even larger Yachang Bridge.

Just north on the same route is the giant Hongshuihe Bridge that is one of 3 massive arch spans that cross the Hongshui River in northern Guangxi Province at the border with Guizhou Province. The 528 meter main span consists of a through-arch with eight CFST concrete filled steel tubular ribs.

Further downstream is the Hongshuihe Huangbai Railway Bridge and the record breaking Tian'e Longtan Bridge with a concrete arch span of 600 meters. With the exception of the Yangtze River, no other waterway in the world has as many giant arch bridges as the Hongshui River.
