With a span length of 205 meters, the Tianchi Bridge is one of two large concrete arch spans along the newly improved S303 highway in Fujian Province. The nearby Lingdou arch is similar in design but with a smaller span of 160 meters. The two spans look nearly identical though Tianchi has 18 spandrel openings while Xingduicha has only 13.
Both bridges cross over a deep reservoir formed by the construction of a downstream dam.
