Construction on the second phase of the expressway will not start until 2017 and will include a giant suspension bridge more then 300 meters high across the Chishui River.
The Toudaohe Bridge has a maximum pier height of 70 meters and is located just a couple of kilometers west of Gulin City.
Other high bridges on the expressway include the Luosizhai and Shilianghe Bridge and two crossings of the Gulin River.
