World's second highest bridge in Southwest China put into operation

A foreign netizen jokingly commented that if it were his country in charge of the project, they would probably spend ten years on discussion, another five on planning, and five more on construction. He also speculated that the final cost would be four times the budget. In addition to being the world's second highest bridge, Qingshuihe Bridge is also the world's largest single-span plate truss stiffening girder suspension bridge, and Asia's first steel truss girder suspension bridge built in a mountainous area.
