Beipanjiang Bridge was built jointly by Yunnan and Guizhou Provinces, with full length of 1341.4 meters, and 565 meters of vertical height from bridge deck to the valley bottom, which equals to a building of 200 stories. It is also the highest cross-river bridge, about 100 meters higher than the highest bridge abroad, the Hegigio Gorge Pipeline Bridge in Papua New Guinea. 

On Sep. 10^th, 2016 Beipanjiang Bridge was joined together by two ends at the section between Bijie and Duge in Guizhou Province and was put into service on Dec. 29^th. 

In history, because Duge Couty in Guizhou Province and Puli County in Yunnan Province stands on the two sides of the river, residents on bth sides had to climb over three mountains and went through 40 km of mountain path to reach each other, which usually took three hours. After the bridge being built, people driving from Xuanwei City in Yunnan Province can reach at Liupanshui City in Guizhou Province in about 1 hour, comparing to 5 hours before the bridge was built. 

The Beipanjiang Bridge received the 35^th Gustav Lindenthal in May, 2018 and the China Road Construction Quality Award in August, 2018.
