As of 2026, the Huajiang Canyon Bridge in China’s Guizhou province holds the title of the highest bridge in the world. It officially opened to traffic on September 28, 2025, surpassing the previous record-holder, the Duge Bridge. The Huajiang Canyon Bridge is a staggering engineering marvel, with a deck height of 625 meters (approximately 2,051 feet) above the Beipan River. To put that in perspective, it is nearly twice the height of the Eiffel Tower and significantly taller than the One World Trade Center in New York. The bridge is a suspension structure with a main span of 1,420 meters, designed to slash travel time across the canyon from over an hour to just one minute. Beyond its utility as a highway for the S57 Liuzhi-Anlong Expressway, the bridge was built with tourism in mind; it features a glass-bottomed sightseeing walkway, an elevator, and a high-altitude coffee house built into one of the towers, offering panoramic views from 800 meters above the valley floor for the truly brave.
