China completed the world's highest bridge in three and a half years, while the UK only built an interchange in the same time.
Did you see the news? The Huajiang Canyon Bridge in Guizhou will open to traffic in three and a half years, with a height of 625 meters.
I saw it. The British media even compared it with a highway interchange in the UK, saying they took the same time.
Exactly, China built the world's tallest bridge, while the UK only built an interchange. The gap is obvious.
The key lies in technology. China used modular prefabrication, drone inspections, and sensors to monitor the structure.
Yes, and now Guizhou has nearly half of the world’s highest bridges. This clustering effect is amazing by itself.
Don’t forget, this bridge is not just for transportation, it’s also a tourist attraction with glass walkways and bungee jumping.
That’s the combination of efficiency and multifunctionality. In the UK, their project won’t be done until 2026, the efficiency is too low.
This shows that China’s infrastructure development has become an important symbol of national competitiveness.
