A suspension bridge under construction across the grand canyon over the Huajiang River in southwest China's Guizhou Province is expected to become the highest in the world after completion in 2025.
With a vertical height of 625 meters from the bridge deck down to the water's surface, the Huajiang grand canyon bridge has a total length of 2,980 meters.
The main span of the bridge is 1,420 meters, with a bridge floor that is 625 meters above the water surface.
The bridge's main structure is expected to be completed by the end of 2024, and it's set to be put into use in early 2025.
After completion, the bridge will cut the travel time across the canyon from 70 minutes to one minute.
It is also expected to help promote tourism and rural revitalization in the region.
