World's highest bridge opens to traffic in China

The world's highest bridge opened to traffic in China on Sunday, state media said, capping an engineering feat three years in the making and snatching the record from another bridge in the same province. The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge towers 2,051-feet above a river and vast gorge in the country's rugged southern province of Guizhou, also home to the 565-metre Beipanjiang Bridge that is now the world's second highest. Live drone footage broadcast by state media on Sunday showed vehicles traversing the immense structure, its support towers engulfed in clouds. State news agency Xinhua said Wednesday that nearly half of the world's 100 highest bridges are located in province.
