The bridge spans a deep canyon and can bear a weight of up to 45 tons, showcasing China's top-tier engineering expertise.
LOCATION
This bridge crosses a canyon that plunges 300 meters deep in Wu Long District, Chongqing, China. The people of China have dubbed it the 'most terrifying suspension bridge in the world.'
DESIGN
Stretching 240 meters in length, this bridge has no supporting towers or foundations. It is solely secured by steel cables, giving it a seemingly fragile and perilous appearance. Instead, four steel cables are tautly stretched along both sides of the bridge, effectively demonstrating its remarkable strength.
MEANING
Although suspended in mid-air across a ravine, the bridge is capable of supporting the weight of trucks carrying up to 45 tons. This bridge has alleviated transportation challenges, enabling drivers to shorten their trips by 20 kilometers while navigating steep and treacherous terrain.
However, the suspension bridge is only a temporary structure to assist in the construction of the Shuangbao Bridge – a larger and more impressive project. China continues to impress the world with its infrastructure-building capabilities.
