With so much attention focused on the many high arch bridges in western China, it is nice to occasionally show one of the highest bridges in the eastern half of the country. With a length of 329 meters, the Lingdou span is one of two large concrete arch bridges along the newly improved S303 highway in Fujian Province. The nearby Tianchi arch has an even larger span of 205 meters. The two spans look nearly identical though Tianchi has 18 spandrel openings while Lingdou has only 13.
Both bridges cross over a deep reservoir formed by the construction of a downstream dam.
