China makes world’s longest, highest bridge

London: China’s 1,102 feet up and 3,858 feet long, the ambitious suspension bridge in Hunan province has become the highest and longest in the world.

The Anzhaite Long-span Suspension Bridge in Jishou was officially opened to motorists Tuesday, Daily Mail reported.
Work on the engineering feat started in October 2007 and the bulk of the work finished at the end of last year.
Drivers can take in the views of the Dehang Canyon as they steer their way across all 3,858 feet of the new sky-high road which links two tunnels.
The bridge, which is lit up at night with 1,888 lights, is the fourth suspension bridge to cross a valley so wide it seems to be connecting two mountain ranges, the Mail said.
