In a significant milestone for the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in China, the structure has successfully passed a five-day load-bearing test involving 96 trucks driving across it.

The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in China has undergone a rigorous five-day testing process ahead of its scheduled opening in late September. The load test, a critical assessment of the bridge's structural integrity, involved a testing team driving 96 trucks onto designated points across the span, confirming its stability and safety for future traffic. Rising 625 meters above a river in Guizhou province, once completed, the bridge will be recognized as both the tallest in the world and the largest span bridge constructed in a mountainous area.
