GUIZHOU, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) --A suspension bridge across the grand canyon over the Huajiang River in southwest China's Guizhou Province is under construction.
Upon completion, it will be the world's highest mountain bridge.
The total length of the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge is 2,980 meters. Its main span is 1,420 meters. It is a suspension bridge. The bridge floor is 625 meters above the water surface. The main structure is expected to be completed by the end of 2024. It's set to put into use in early 2025.
