The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in southwest China’s Guizhou Province, currently under construction and set to be the world’s highest bridge, is expected to be completed by June 2025, according to a press conference held on Wednesday.
Half of the construction has been completed, nearly two years after the construction was kicked off in a deep gorge in southwestern Guizhou.
The 2,890-meter-long steel girder suspension bridge will be part of an expressway in Guizhou, boasting a designed height of 625 meters from the bottom of the gorge to the
bridge deck.
The bridge will significantly reduce the crossing time of the canyon from approximately 70 minutes to just about a minute.
