Over the past few years, China has been vigorously promoting the construction of high-speed railways, cross-sea bridges, highways, and other projects, and the scale of transportation infrastructure built is very large.

Now, China has more than 168,000 kilometers of highways, 140,000 kilometers of railways, and more than 1.09 million road bridges. We found that these achievements far exceed the most developed country in the world – the United States.

What’s more worth mentioning is that China is also the country with the most bridges in the world. Among the top ten bridges of all types in the world, China occupies more than half of the positions. These include the world’s longest bridge, the world’s longest sea-crossing bridge, and the world’s tallest bridge.

Of course, these amazing bridge buildings in China are always breaking the world record. Now, China is investing US$520 million to build an astonishing bridge with a design height of 625 meters above the water, nearly 300 meters higher than the Royal Gorge Bridge in the United States. This bridge is the “Huajiang Canyon Bridge”.
