SAEDNEWS: Aizhai Suspension Bridge: China’s Modern Engineering Marvel Soaring 355 Meters Above the Dehang Grand Canyon — Shattering Records and Cutting a 4-Hour Journey to Just One Minute
According to the Science and Technology Service of Saed News, the Aizhai Bridge in Hunan Province, China, stands as one of the most colossal and striking feats of civil engineering in the world, inaugurated in 2012. Thanks to its unique geographical position above the Dehang Grand Canyon, the bridge is considered an extraordinary technical achievement. Rising 355 meters above the canyon floor and spanning 1,176 meters, Aizhai held the record at its opening as the world’s highest “tunnel-to-tunnel” bridge.
The construction of this awe-inspiring structure was part of the G65 Baotou–Maoming Expressway, designed primarily to cut travel time between the cities of Jishou and Chadong from four hours to less than one. Your video vividly captures the scale and complexity of the project—from the installation of steel beams to the completion of the bridge deck—showcasing pioneering innovations in suspension bridge design for mountainous terrain. Aizhai Bridge not only solved a major traffic bottleneck but also became a symbol of modern engineering prowess, now serving as a tourist attraction that significantly contributes to regional economic development.
