China cut a mountain in half in order to build a highway including the world's highest bridge

China cut a mountain in half to build a highway and then topped it with the world’s highest bridge.

The Huajiang Canyon Bridge in Guizhou rises so high the Eiffel Tower could hide in the gorge below.

This stretch of the Guizhou Luan Expressway literally slices through the landscape, turning an hour‑long crawl into a one‑minute sky ride.

And when it opens, anyone with a fear of heights is going to feel it in their palms before their tires even hit the road.

How do you even slice a mountain in half?

Guizhou is 92 percent mountains and cliffs – gorgeous for postcards, awful for commuting. 

Instead of carving long, winding tunnels, China just took the tops off the mountains to make way for a new expressway.

The star of the route is the Huajiang Canyon Bridge – a suspension giant that will hover 2,051ft above the gorge. 

That’ll make it the world’s highest bridge once it’s done.

This thing is massive: 9,482 ft long, with a 4,659 ft main span, and towers tall enough to make your stomach flip.

Crews have poured in 49,000 tons of steel, using GPS-guided cable cranes and wind sensors because even a gentle breeze up there can get dicey.

The result? A 70‑minute cliffside crawl becomes a one‑minute thrill ride, finally giving remote villages a straight shot to the city.

The world’s highest bridge is ‘nightmare’ fuel

A clip of the world’s highest bridge under construction landed on Reddit, and the comments are pure gold.

“New nightmare location unlocked,” one user wrote. Another added: “Tunnel? Nah fam. Just slice the top off the mountain.”

The thread is split between awe and pure vertigo, with people imagining what it would feel like to actually drive across this thing.

The bridge is slated to open in late 2025 and is already tipped to become a tourist magnet. 

Expect glass walkways, extreme sports, maybe even stargazing from the towers if your knees can handle it.

Guizhou had already earned the nickname ‘the world’s highest bridge museum,’ thanks to the insane number of record‑breaking bridges already strung across its canyons. 

This one? It’s the crown jewel – and the ultimate proof that if nature throws up walls, engineers will find a way over them.
