The Baihuahu Grand Bridge is a control project for the Gui'an Expansion Expressway, with a total length of 1,086 meters. Main tower 11 features a reinforced concrete, diamond-shaped design with a height of 219 meters. Since pile foundation construction began in March 2023, the project has already crossed 1,344 meters of karst formations after 800 days of hard work.

Wu Yun, a project representative, said that the team used tower beam parallel construction technology to accelerate progress and optimize the construction plan, advancing the bridge's construction period by five months. Main tower 11's completion has laid a solid foundation for the bridge's closure before National Day.

The Gui'an expansion project has a total length of 90.72 kilometers, spanning from Guanshanhu district in Guiyang city to Puding county, Anshun. Once completed, it will be the first smart highway in Guizhou province, making it of great significance for promoting the development of Gui'an New Area.
