A suspension bridge opened to traffic on Thursday morning in southwest China's Guizhou Province.
Qingshuihe, the Asia's longest steel girder suspension bridge in the mountainous region and the world's second highest one, was built at 406 meters above the Qingshuihe River with a main span of 1,130 meters.
The 2,171-meter-long bridge was built by 75 huge steel girders joint together with each weighing up to 180 tons.
The bridge, which costs 1.54 billion yuan (240 million U.S. dollars) and has taken two years to construct, is part of the Guiweng Expressway.
It will shorten the travel distance between Weng'an County and Guiyang from 160 km down to 38 km, said Gao Heng, director of the construction. More on: [ Ссылка ]
