Honghe bridge

China / Yunnan / Zhoucheng /
Honghe Bridge is the highest bridges in the world, ranked by the height of the deck over the ground or water below. Building a bridge very high in the air, such as across a deep valley, adds to the complexity of its design and construction.. Three of the bridges are similar in height while only the Honghe bridge carries 4 lanes of traffic. The Honghe is the highest bridge on the route, rising 540 feet (165 mtrs) above the Yuanjiang river. As awesome as its height is, Honghe is equally impressive for having one mother of a main span, stretching 869 feet (265 mtrs) between the centerline of the piers.
