This summer, the tallest bridge in the world will open in China.

Golden Gate and Sydney Harbor, get out of the way. In June, China, a nation that prioritizes infrastructure, is expected to open the tallest bridge in the world.

In Guizhou, southwest China, work on the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge is almost finished. It will be 2,051 feet above river level, 947 feet higher than the Millau Viaduct in France, which now holds the bridge title.

China’s Guizhou province is a mountainous region with intricate topography. The bridge spans the “earth crack,” commonly known as the breathtaking Huajiang Grand Canyon.

China is working to upgrade its infrastructure all around the country, particularly in hilly regions that are still in need of development, such as Guizhou, which is 800 miles west of Shenzhen.

The bridge will make it easier than ever for automobiles and trucks to cross the region once it is operational, so it’s not just about setting a new record. It will cut the two-hour journey over the Huajiang Grand Canyon to just one minute, according to official media.

The bridge is 9,482 feet long overall and is made of steel truss suspension. According to Guizhou local state media, construction is scheduled to be finished by June 30, 2025, having formally begun on January 18, 2022.

The combined weight of these trusses is roughly 22,000 tons, or the weight of three Eiffel Towers.

According to Zhang Shenglin, chief engineer of Guizhou Highway Group, the bridge is currently 95% complete and is expected to open to traffic in the second half of 2025, the state-run newspaper China Daily said.

This incredible project that crosses the “earth crack” will be the first in both directions in the globe by that time. It will turn into yet another historic undertaking that showcases China’s robust infrastructure,” Zhang continued.

At the moment, Guizhou is home to about half of the world’s 100 tallest bridges.
