The Yichang Baimaxi Bridge is a huge 6-lane arch truss that consists of a CFST or concrete filled steel tubular truss with a span to rise ratio of 6:1. An early design had steel members sandwiched between two concrete slabs. The span is located on the Yichang West Ring Expressway with a width of 33.5 meters.
Just a few kilometers south is the giant Nanjinguan Yangtze River Bridge with a steel box stiffened main span of 1,200 meters. The spectacular suspension span crosses a deep canyon of the Yangtze River Gorge where a lake has formed below the Gezhouba Dam near Yichang City. Also nearby is the older Xialaoxi arch bridge that opened in 1996.
