China opens world's highest bridge



    The world’s highest bridge has opened to traffic in China, connecting two provinces in the mountainous southwest and reducing travel times by as much as three-quarters.

   The Beipanjiang Bridge soars 565 metres above a river and connects the two mountainous provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou.
   The 1,341-metre span, which costs over 1 billion yuanto build, overtakes the Si Du River Bridge in the central province of Hubei to become the world’s highest bridge.
