Hold onto your hard hats, engineering fans! The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in southwest China is set to open Sunday, claiming the title of world's tallest bridge 🏆. Spanning a jaw-dropping gorge, this architectural marvel is taller than the Eiffel Tower laid end-to-end (okay, we did the math for you).
Built to connect remote communities and turbocharge regional tourism 🚗💨, the bridge cuts travel time across the canyon from 1.5 hours to just two minutes. Local residents are already calling it the 'sky road' – perfect for Instagram-worthy cloud selfies ☁️📸.
While exact height specs are under wraps, CMG reports the structure uses enough steel to build three space stations 🚀. Adventure seekers, mark your maps: this engineering triumph could become Asia's next must-see landmark!
