Niujiaoping Railway Bridge
牛角坪特大桥
Ziyang, Shaanxi, China
364 feet high / 111 meters high
630 foot span / 192 meter span
2009
A massive prestressed Railway beam bridge, the double tracked Niujiaoping Railway bridge has a prestressed main span of 630 feet (192 mtrs), one of the longest of its type anywhere in the world. Portugal's Ponte S. João bridge over the River Douro is the only railway beam bridge I know of that is longer at 820 feet (250 mtrs).
Also just 8 kilometers southwest of the Niujiaoping Bridge is the equally spectacular Zhuqihe Railway Bridge with a height of 130 meters and a main span of 128 meters. Both bridges are approximately 50 kilometers southwest of the main station in Ziyang.
宏伟的预应力梁式结构铁路桥——设有双线的牛角坪铁路桥是一座主跨192米，在世界上相同结构形式最长的桥梁之一。葡萄牙的杜罗河上的圣·胡奥大桥是我所知道的比它长一些的铁路桥——250米。
Note the supports beneath the railway span for the new 4-lane expressway.
