When it comes to engineering feats, bridges take the pride of place. Bridges have had a long history, even long before the invention of tools or discovery of metals. In those times, bridges were mainly built to cross on foot. However, as civilization progressed, so did the scale and design to the bridges.
Did you know that the longest bridge in the world today is the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge in China? It spans an astounding 165 kilometres (102.4 miles), as part of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway! Incidentally, China also takes the credit for the highest bridge in the world. It is the Beipanjiang Bridge that soars 565 meters (1,854 feet) above a river between Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.
