Amazing construction wonder completed.



Last year, China inaugurated the world's longest sea bridge, while a few weeks ago, the world's longest road. The construction of the bridge hanging on the rail cable was completed.

Now the world's longest glass bridge has been built in China and opened to the public.

A full glass bridge in the Chinese city of Lianzhou has been opened to the public, measuring 1,726 feet in length and has been named the world's largest glass bridge.

His name is also being included in the Guinness Book of World Records, a certificate of which has been issued to local authorities.


Built over the Liangjiang River, this amazing bridge can carry a load of 500 people at a time, while 4 observation decks have been built in the middle of the bridge to provide a beautiful view of the surroundings.

According to local officials, the bridge could be used for bungee jumping, zip lines and catwalks at fashion events.

According to the report, the bridge is constructed of 3 layers of laminated glass with a thickness of 4.5 cm.

The glass of the bridge is 99.15% transparent and the valley can be seen below the floor.

On the occasion of the inauguration of the bridge on July 18, the construction company also passed 2 vehicles weighing 4 tons on it to prove its strength.



The bridge was completed in three years at a cost of 300 million Chinese yuan and more than 7.63 billion Pakistani rupees.

In fact, the construction of the bridge was completed in January this year, but due to its renovation, it has now been inaugurated.

More than 2,000 glass bridges have been built in China so far, and China's Hongya Valley Glass Bridge holds the record for the world's longest glass bridge.

It was 1600 feet long and opened in 2017.

The new bridge is named after Huangshun, which is also the historical name of the Liangjiang River.


Earlier, on July 1, the world's longest road. The Shanghai Suzhou Nantong Bridge, a cable-stayed bridge over the Yangtze River, was inaugurated.

The bridge is 11,072 meters long and is the first bridge in the world to have a road. The rail cable is spread over an area of more than one thousand meters.


Ning Choushin, the project contractor who built it with China Railway Major Bridge Engineering Group Co., said its two cable towers are the most important structures in the puck.

The longer the bridge, the taller the cable tower.

It is one of the busiest river routes in the world and the bridge is designed to prolong its life.

For its construction, 73,000 cubic meters of concrete and 11,000 tons of steel bars were used for each tower, and the height of each tower is equal to 110 storeys.

Ning Choushin said the construction of such a magnificent bridge also ensured that it could withstand the worst of the floods, withstand an 8-magnitude earthquake and withstand a shipwreck weighing 100,000 tonnes.

The upper part of the bridge has a lane highway while the lower part has 4 railway tracks.

Work on the project began in November 2013, using 48 million tonnes of steel and 230 million cubic meters of concrete.
