The world’s tallest bridge has officially opened for traffic — and it’s cutting down travel time for commuters by a significant amount. The record-breaking Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in Southern China stands approximately 2,050 feet above the Beipan River, making it the tallest bridge in the world, according to NBC News and CNN. The newly-constructed bridge — which towers over the river and gorge in the province of Guizhou — officially opened to traffic on Sunday, Sept. 28. After three years and eight months of construction, the record-breaking bridge now connects major tourist spots in the region and cuts travel time across the canyon from two hours to two minutes, NBC News reported, citing local officials.
