China inaugurated the world's highest bridge on Sunday. The Huajiang Canyon Bridge, built in the mountainous province of Guizhou, spans a 625-meter gorge and a river winding below.

The structure, which took three years to build, breaks the record held by the Duge Bridge, also known as the Beipanjiang Bridge, located in the same province. At 565 meters high, it has been relegated to second place.

State television footage showed cars driving across the immense structure, its blue pylons fading into the clouds.

According to authorities, the bridge will reduce travel time between the two banks from two hours to two minutes. This project should not only facilitate transportation, but also stimulate economic development in the region.

The southern province of Guizhou already boasts a series of spectacular bridges. According to the Xinhua news agency, nearly half of the world's 100 tallest bridges are located there.
