The world’s longest suspension bridge–Aizhai–opened in China on 31st March 2012. The bridge connects two cities–Chongqing Municipality to Changsha city.
Travel time between the two cities, which used to be several days, has been cut to only eight hours. Construction on the bridge took over 4 years (work commenced in October 2007) and cuts travel time over the Dehang Grand Canyon from 30 minutes to 1. The speed limit on the bridge is 80 kilometers (roughly 50 mph). Pedestrians can also walk along the suspension bridge, with 1,888 lights guiding their way. The Aizhai suspension bridge has a main span of 1,176 meters and soars 335m above the ground. This is the highest and longest valley suspension bridge in the world.
