GloriousGuizhou | World's tallest bridge opens to traffic in southwest China's Guizhou
![]() 676 Sunday, 28 September, 2025, 18:48 The world's tallest bridge opened to traffic Sunday morning in southwest China's Guizhou, slashing travel time across a deep canyon from two hours to just two minutes after three years of construction. The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge, soaring 625 meters above the Beipan River in Guizhou's mountainous terrain, is nearly nine times as tall as San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. With a main span of 1,420 meters, the project has become the world's longest-span steel truss girder suspension bridge in mountainous terrain, according to Guizhou provincial authorities. Spanning the Huajiang Grand Canyon, dubbed "the Earth's crack," the 2,890-meter-long structure is the latest addition to the rapidly expanding infrastructure network of the world's second-largest economy.
