A suspension bridge, which is under construction across the grand canyon over the Huajiang River in southwest China's Guizhou Province, is expected to become the highest in the world after completion in 2025.
With a vertical height of 625 meters from the bridge deck down to the water's surface, the Huajiang grand canyon bridge has a total length of 2,980 meters.
