Fri Apr 11 23:50:00 UTC 2025: ## China to Open World’s Tallest Bridge
**Beijing, April 12, 2025** – China is set to unveil the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge on June 25th, a structure poised to become the world’s tallest bridge. Spanning a two-mile-wide gorge in Guizhou province, the bridge cost approximately £216 million (₹2200 crore) to construct. It will reduce travel time across the gorge from one hour to just one minute. The bridge’s height is double that of the Eiffel Tower.
Features planned for the bridge include a glass walkway offering breathtaking views of the canyon, and a potential high-altitude bungee jumping facility. China also plans to develop nearby residential areas to boost tourism. The project is seen as a testament to China’s engineering prowess, overcoming significant technical challenges in building such a long span over a deep gorge. The bridge is also expected to significantly improve the lives of local residents and facilitate commerce.
