China has just taken engineering to new heights—literally! 🇨🇳🌉 The main structure of the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in southwest China's Guizhou Province is now complete, marking a monumental milestone in bridge construction.
With the last steel girder, weighing a whopping 215 tonnes, hoisted into place with precision, this suspension bridge stands tall with a vertical height of 625 meters from the bridge deck down to the river surface. That's set to make it the world's tallest bridge! 🏆🌁
But that's not all! Stretching a total length of 2,890 meters and boasting a span of 1,420 meters, it's also the world's largest span bridge built in a mountainous area. Talk about pushing boundaries! 🏔️🚀
Construction of this engineering marvel began in 2022, and guess what? It's scheduled to open to traffic in 2025. Can't wait to drive across this sky-high roadway! 🚗✨
The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge isn't just a bridge—it's a symbol of innovation and ambition, connecting communities and inspiring the world. 🌐❤️
