GUIYANG, Sept. 19 (Xinhua) --With a designed deck height of 625 meters, the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge is set to be the highest in the world upon its completion in 2025.
The 2,890-meter-long bridge is located in Bouyei-Miao Autonomous County of Guanling and is part of an expressway linking the Liuzhi special district of Liupanshui City and Anlong County of Bouyei-Miao Autonomous Prefecture of Qianxinan, Guizhou Province.
