The bridge was constructed by China Railway Science & Industry Group Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Railway Engineering Co., Ltd.
Spanning 1,675 meters, the bridge features a twin-tower, double-cable plane composite girder cable-stayed design. The main tower, standing 162.8 meters tall, supports a 506-meter main span, making it the largest cable-stayed bridge without auxiliary piers in Guangxi and the second-largest of its kind in China.

The project faced significant engineering challenges, including complex terrain and high-precision steel structure fabrication. The project team utilized BIM technology to simulate the entire component processing workflow, optimizing cutting and assembly to control errors within millimeters. Additionally, advanced construction techniques were adopted, ensuring the successful completion of approximately 14,000 tons of steel structure fabrication.
