Luosizhai is the first of 4 towering beam bridges on the 70 kilometer Xugu expressway that connects the city of Xuyong on the G76 with the city of Gulin and eventually the Chishui River gorge where it will connect with the Renchi expressway in Guizhou. Construction on the second phase of the expressway will not start until maybe 2015 and will include a giant suspension bridge more then 300 meters high across the Chishui River.

The Luosizhai Bridge is located just one kilometer east of the G76 expressway where the Xugu expressway heads east along the Gulin River canyon.

Other high bridges on the expressway include the Shilianghe Bridge and two crossings of the Gulin River.
