BEIJING, Sept 28 – Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in southwest China’s Guizhou Province officially opened to traffic on Saturday. The world’s tallest bridge has a vertical height of 625 meters from the bridge deck down to the river surface.
The 2,890-meter bridge, with a span of 1,420 meters, is also the world’s largest span bridge in a mountainous area.
The bridge, as part of an expressway project connecting Liuzhi and Anlong in the province, took three years to build.
A journey that once required a two-hour detour from Zhenfeng County to Guanling County can now be completed in just two minutes.
