The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge, completed in 2025 in China's mountainous Guizhou province, has been recorded as the world's highest bridge, according to sozcu.com.tr. [1] The suspension bridge stands 625 metres above the bed of the river flowing beneath it. [1] Its span is 1,420 metres. [1]

## Height and design of the suspension bridge

The structure crosses a deep canyon in rugged mountain terrain. The 625-metre height above the river bed corresponds to a gap larger than two Eiffel Towers stacked on top of each other, the publication notes. [1] The bridge has a span of 1,420 metres, and its towers rise above the clouds. [1]

Hanging over the deep valley, the bridge links the two sides of the canyon directly, despite the difficult geographic conditions. [1]

## Crossing time cut from 2 hours to 2 minutes

Before the bridge was built, crossings between the two banks of the canyon ran along steep and dangerous mountain roads. [1] That route took about 2 hours. [1] After the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge entered service, the same trip takes only 2 minutes. [1]

The source does not give the construction timeline, the cost or traffic figures for the bridge.
