    China Nears Completion of World’s Tallest Bridge


    The bridge spans the Huajiang Grand Canyon and will cut travel time across the gorge from 70 minutes to just one. It is set to open in June 2025.


    The 2,890-meter-long steel suspension bridge stands 625 meters above the valley floor [measured from the base of the gorge to the deck]. For comparison, San Francisco’s iconic Golden Gate Bridge rises just 67 meters—nearly 10 times shorter than China’s engineering marvel.
