The Yachi River Bridge is a cable stayed bridge currently under construction in Guizhou, China. Once complete the bridge, at 272 m (892 ft), will be one of the highest in world. It will also be one of the longest arch bridges with a main span of 436 m (1,430 ft). The bridge will cross the Yachi River between Qianxi County in Bijie and Qingzhen in Guiyang. The bridge is part of the Guiyang to Chengdu Railway.
Although Yachi Railway Bridge is officially 272 metres high, the bridge will cross over the reservoir of the Suofengying Dam so it will only be approximately 230 metres above the water level.
