China recently opened the world’s highest bridge — a marvel that stands 1,854 feet above a river and connects two mountainous regions in the country.
The Beipanjiang Bridge, which links the province of Guizhou and Yunnan, should shorten travel times from Liupanshui to Xuianwei from about five hours to two hours, according to the Guardian .
The bridge opened to traffic on Dec. 30. Construction of the bridge started in 2013, while the two ends were connected by September 2016 with a reported cost of $144 million, according to India Today.
