Move over, Eiffel Tower! 🇫🇷 China’s Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in Guizhou Province has just hit a jaw-dropping milestone, officially securing its title as the world’s tallest bridge! 🚀 The final 215-tonne steel girder was locked into place this week, completing the bridge’s main structure after three years of high-altitude engineering magic.
Standing at a vertigo-inducing 625 meters from deck to river—almost twice the height of the Shard in London—this suspension bridge isn’t just breaking records; it’s redefining what’s possible in mountainous terrain. 🌄 With a single span stretching 1,420 meters, the bridge is a lifeline for remote communities in southwest China, set to slash travel times and boost local economies when it opens in 2025.
Engineers battled cliffside winds and tricky geology to build this 2,890-meter-long marvel. Pro tip for travelers: Pack your camera—the views from this sky-high crossing will be *epic*. 📸✨
