China has inaugurated the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge, now the tallest in the world at 565 meters above the river, surpassing the Beipanjiang Bridge. The 1,420-meter-long structure, built over three years, reduces travel time across the canyon from two hours to just two minutes.
Officials hailed the project as a symbol of China’s massive infrastructure investments, with Guizhou province alone hosting nearly half of the world’s 100 tallest bridges.
