The world’s highest bridge has opened to traffic in the country, state media said, capping an engineering feat three years in the making and snatching the record from another bridge in the same province.
The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge towers 625m above a river and vast gorge in the country’s rugged southern province of Guizhou, also home to the 565m Beipanjiang Bridge that is now the world’s second highest.
