00:06Built over the Huajian section of the Beipan River, the deck of the Huajian Grand Canyon Bridge sits 625 metres above the water,
00:16with its main span measuring 1,420 metres, making it the longest main span in the world for a bridge in mountainous terrain.
00:25The bridge is a key link in Guishou's expressway network, reducing travel time between the two banks from about two hours to roughly two minutes.
