One of 4 really high beam bridges on the 126 kilometer long Biwei Expressway between Bijie and Weining in Guizhou Province, the Wumupu Bridge is easily seen from below along local road G326 that winds down into the same river valley. The bridge has a span configuration of 9x30 +84+150+81 +2x40 meters.

Just several kilometers west of Wumupu is the giant Hezhang beam bridge with the tallest bridge pier ever built in China at 195 meters.
