-Wedged between rock walls more then a 1,000 meters high, the Wujiang Bridge Tukan is located across the bottom of one of the deepest and most spectacular canyons of the great Wujiang River.  This G65 expressway has so many tunnels along this stretch that drivers are lucky to see more then a few seconds of this jaw-dropping scenery.

 The side by side beam spans cross the river on a skew.  Due to the power the river may have during strong floods, the engineers widened the bottom half of the piers to cut the flow of water that might threaten to push the bridge off its foundations.
