The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in China has undergone a five-day testing process ahead of the scheduled opening in late September.
The load test is the final step before it is considered safe to welcome traffic. A testing team drove 96 trucks onto designated points to test the bridge’s structural integrity.
Rising 625 metres above a river in Guizhou province, the bridge will upon completion set the record for both the world’s tallest bridge and largest span bridge built in a mountainous area.
