China has completed several stunning construction projects in recent years.
But the Huajiang Bridge is one such project that is considered an impossible feat of engineering.
If you are afraid of heights, then this bridge is not easy to cross because you will feel dizzy while crossing it.
This bridge is located at an altitude of 625 meters above the ground and when it is opened to the public in June, it will be declared the tallest bridge in the world.
At present, the tallest bridge in the world is declared to be the Millau Viaduct in France, but the Chinese bridge is 947 feet higher.
The construction of the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in Guizhou province, located in southwest China, is almost complete.
Guizhou is a mountainous province in China where it takes a lot of time to travel from one place to another, and this new bridge has been built for this purpose.
This new bridge is located 800 miles west of Shenzhen city and will also make it much easier for cars and trucks to pass through the area.
In fact, the distance that currently takes 2 hours will be covered in just one minute thanks to this bridge.
The length of this steel bridge is 9482 feet and its construction began in January 2022 and is expected to be completed by June 30, 2025.
20 thousand tons of steel were used for the bridge and this amount can be considered equivalent to 3 Eiffel Towers.
Interestingly, about 50% of the 100 highest bridges in the world are located in this province of China.
Engineers are also building a bridge in Yunnan province of China that will be located at a height of 610 meters and its construction will be completed in 2027.
By the way, the world's longest bridge is also located in China.
The Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge spans over 164 kilometers and is used for high-speed trains between Beijing and Shanghai.
