The Chuandian Jinsha River Bridge (Chinese: 川滇金沙江特大桥) is a suspension bridge under construction over the Jinsha River between Ningnan County, Sichuan and Qiaojia County, Yunnan, China. The bridge is one of the longest suspension bridges with a main span of 1,060 m (3,480 ft).
The bridge is less than one kilometer from the older Baihetan Jinsha River Bridge (Chinese: 白鹤滩金沙江大桥). The Baihetan Dam formed a reservoir on the Jinsha River.
