The Wuzuohe Bridge is a welcome site along the G76 expressway as it is just one of only 3 cable stayed or extradosed bridges on the 2,192 kilometer long highway that is otherwise filled with more then two dozen of the world's highest concrete beam bridges. The gargantuan Chishi Viaduct and the nearby Longjiang Bridge are the only other non-beam spans along the entire route.
The 380 meter main span of Wuzuohe crosses the mouth of the Wuzuo River just 200 meters from its junction with the giant Liuchong River. Measuring 1.46 kilometers in length, the span configuration of Wuzuohe is 13×40 +178+380+178 +5×40 meters. The two piers measure 214.6 and 204 meters tall. The deck has a width of 27 meters and a depth of 2.6 meters. The cable stays are spaced 7.5 meters along the main span but vary between 6.5 and 5.5 meters on the side spans.
The equally high Wuzuohe Railway Bridge is located 5 kilometers upstream of the G76 crossing.
