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. The bridge has a span of 1,420 metres, and its towers rise above the clouds.
Hanging over the deep valley, the bridge links the two sides of the canyon directly, despite the difficult geographic conditions.
Crossing time cut from 2 hours to 2 minutes
