The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge, set to become the world's tallest bridge, will open to traffic on Sept. 28, 2025, according to the Guizhou Provincial People's Government.
The bridge is a key part of the Liuzhi-Anlong Expressway. It is 2,890 meters long with a main span of 1,420 meters. Rising 625 meters above the river, it will be the world’s tallest bridge and the largest span bridge constructed in a mountainous region.
The opening of the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge will greatly reduce travel time across the canyon, providing a major boost to the region's economic and social development.
