Although most of the high beam bridges on the Renchi Expressway and elsewhere in China have long spans constructed by the balanced cantilevered method, more conventional viaducts with simple drop-in spans often exceed 90 meters in height if the piers do not have to be too tall. Yanxizi is a good example of this type of bridge. The plaque states that the bridge has only 4 spans of 30 meters but the finished structure looks to have 6 spans of 40 meters.
