The 300 meter tall West tower is one of a rare group of only a dozen bridge "skyscrapers" in existence to reach the 300 meter threshold.
The 1,720 meter long structure has a span configuration of 12x40 +215+480+215 +12x40 meters. The East tower is 273 meters tall.

Two photos from the load test. [GlobalTimes and ecns, photos by Qu Honglun] They tested with 24 trucks, so they parked them at different locations on the bridge to test different parts of the bridge.
