The Puzhehei Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge under construction in Yunnan, China. When completed the bridge will be the tallest in the world with the western tower having a structural height of 375 metres (1,230 ft). It will surpass the height of the current tallest bridge, the Millau Viaduct by 38 metres (125 ft). The bridge will carry the new Luqiuguangfu Expressway across the valley of the Nanpan River.
The bridge will be among the ten longest cable-stayed bridges in the world with a main span of 930 metres (3,050 ft). It will also be one of the highest bridges in the world sitting 475 metres (1,558 ft) above the original level of the Nanpan River. The full height won't be visible as the bridge will cross over the Yunpeng Dam reservoir so will sit 444 m (1,457 ft) above water level.
