Huajiang Canyon Bridge, Suspension bridge in Guanling Buyei and Miao Autonomous County, Guizhou, China.
This suspension bridge spans 2890 meters in total length with a main span of 1420 meters, rising 625 meters above the Beipan River in a deep canyon gorge.
Officially opened on September 28, 2025, after three years of construction requiring 22000 tons of steel and concrete, setting a new world record for bridge height.
Located in a region inhabited by Buyei and Miao ethnic groups, this bridge represents China's ambitious infrastructure development strategy to connect isolated mountainous rural areas with modern engineering.
The crossing reduces travel time between the two sides from over one hour to just two minutes, significantly improving transportation in this remote mountainous region.
It holds the world record as the highest bridge with 262-meter towers supporting the deck at an elevation equivalent to twice the height of the Eiffel Tower.
