 The Beipanjiang Bridge [Photo: Xinhua] Soaring 565 meters above a river, the Beipanjiang Bridge in Guizhou opened to traffic on Thursday, making it the world's highest bridge, CCTV reported. With a height equivalent to a 200-storey building, the structure spanning the Beipanjiang Valley, is part of a highway linking Hangzhou city in East China's Zhejiang province and Ruili city in Guizhou's neighboring Yunnan province.

The construction of the 1,341-meter-long cable-stayed suspension bridge started in 2013, costing about 1 billion yuan (about $150 million).  The Beipanjiang Bridge [Photo: china.com.cn] |
