A bridge suspended above a Chinese river by more than half a kilometre
has now opened to the public – becoming the highest of its kind in the
world.
The Beipanjiang Bridge is raised 564 metres above the Beipan River in
mountainous southwest China, making it the highest bridge ever built.
Designed by a team of Chinese engineers, the bridge has a 1,341-metre
span that carries four lanes of traffic over the Beipan River.
It connects the provinces of Guizhou and Yunnan, and is expected to
reduce journey time between the cities of Liupanshui and Xuianwei from
five hours to just two.
