Highest bridge touching the clouds opens to traffic in China

Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge towers 625 metres above a river, gorge

- 

The world’s highest bridge opened to traffic in China yesterday, state media said, capping an engineering feat three years in the making and snatching the record from another bridge in the same province.

The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge towers 625 metres (2,051 feet) above a river and vast gorge in the country’s rugged southern province of Guizhou, also home to the 565-metre Beipanjiang Bridge that is now the world’s second highest.
