This collection presents the tallest bridges on Earth, measured by their clearance height above the ground or water below. Most of these structures are located in China, spanning deep gorges and river valleys across the provinces of Guizhou, Yunnan, Hubei, and Sichuan. The designs employ various construction methods including suspension bridges, cable-stayed bridges, and arch bridges. The collection also features notable high bridges in Mexico, India, and Papua New Guinea. These structures demonstrate how modern engineering overcomes difficult mountainous terrain and creates new transportation links. The bridges serve as critical infrastructure for regions previously separated by natural barriers.
