A massive $252million bridge in China that is destined to become the world’s tallest has successfully completed a crucial examination.

The five-day evaluation occurred in preparation for the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge’s launch, scheduled for late September.

The load assessment represented the final inspection that the structure required to pass before being deemed safe for vehicular traffic, reports Daily Express UK. 

The process involved a testing crew operating 96 trucks – totaling 3,300 tons – positioned at specific locations designed to evaluate the bridge’s structural integrity.

The remarkable infrastructure project towers 625 meters above the Beipan River canyon in Guizhou province.

“This bridge is an unprecedented engineering feat,” declared Wu Zhaoming of Guizhou Transportation Investment Group Co., Ltd.

Construction crews were forced to cut a mountain in half to accommodate the bridge. On August 1, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs shared video footage of a new bridge winding through a dramatically altered hill, with two sections of its top sloping inward.

Officials claim that this new route will allow drivers to bypass an hour-long complex commute, crossing the bridge in just one minute instead.

The world’s longest bridge is the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge, also located in China. It stretches over 102 miles, facilitating high-speed train travel across cities, lakes, and rivers.

The massive structure was built by a workforce of 10,000 and took four years to complete.

Currently, the tallest bridge in the world is France’s Millau Viaduct.

Surpassing the height of the Eiffel Tower, it stands at 343 meters high, towering above the clouds in Creissels.
