Puli Bridge

Puli Bridge is a suspension bridge near Xuanwei, Qujing, China. The bridge, at 485 m, is one of the highest in the world. The bridge forms part of the G56 Hangzhou–Ruili Expressway between Liupanshui and Xuanwei and was opened in August 2015. The bridge and associated expressway reduced the travelling time from Xuanwei to the Guizhou border from four hours to one hour. The bridge crosses a small stream beside the Gexiang River gorge.

Design and construction
The Puli Bridge has a main span of 628 m and a total length of 1040 m. The road deck is 24.5 m wide and the main suspension cables are 26 m apart. The bridge cost 440 million yuan (about US$71 million). Similar to the Sidu River Bridge, the first cable used to erect the span (the pilot cable) was placed using a rocket.
