The Zangke River Bridge is located in Guizhou's Wumeng Mountain National Geopark and straddles the Zangke River. The bridge features a length of 1,849 meters and a span of 1,080 meters. The deck is 380 meters above the river surface. The bridge will rank as the world's 11th highest upon completion.

The bridge is on the expressway linking Nayong and Qinglong in the southwestern province.
