Meixihe Railway Bridge is one of several spectacular crossings on the heavily tunneled Zhengzhou to Chongqing high speed railway that skirts through the mountains along the famous 3 Gorges region of Hubei and Chongqing Provinces.
The 340 meter concrete arch carries a double track line high over the deep waters of the reservoir that formed from the giant 3 Gorges Dam. Just to the north of the railway bridge is the 288 meter span concrete filled steel tubular Meixihe road bridge completed in 2000.
Other big bridges include a 300 meter steel arch over the Daninghe River, a 168 meter beam span over the Pengxi River, a 260 meter beam-arch over the Shennongxi and other large beam crossings over the Tangxi, Zhuyuan and Xingshan Rivers.
