Worlds Tallest Bridge Officially Opens to Traffic, Cutting Travel Time from 2 Hours Down to 2 Minutes

The world’s tallest bridge has formally opened for site visitors — and it’s cutting down journey time for commuters by a important quantity. The record-breaking Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in Southern China stands roughly 2,050 toes above the Beipan River, making it the tallest bridge in the world, according to NBC News and GWN. The newly-constructed bridge — which towers over the river and gorge in the province of Guizhou — formally opened to site visitors on Sunday, Sept. 28. After three years and eight months of construction, the record-breaking bridge now connects major vacationer spots in the area and cuts journey time across the canyon from two hours to two minutes, NBC News reported, citing local officers.
