A jubilant announcement has been made by China Central Television (CCTV) on August 26th: the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge， poised to become the world’s highest， has successfully completed its pre-opening comprehensive inspection and is anticipated to officially open to traffic in late September this year.
The domestically manufactured intelligent vehicle， Xiaomi SU7， was invited to participate and was featured alongside this monumental engineering feat.
CCTV News highlighted this occasion， stating， “Chinese infrastructure and Chinese intelligent manufacturing are the answers that constantly break through and advance.”
Li Xiaoshuang， Vice President of Xiaomi Auto， commented， “At a height of 625 meters and a width of 1420 meters， both vertically and horizontally， it stands as a testament to the extraordinary strength of Chinese infrastructure.” He further expressed pride that the Xiaomi SU7， as a representative of domestic intelligent vehicles， had the honor of capturing this historic moment.

The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge is a critical component of the Liuzhi to Anlong Expressway in Guizhou Province. The bridge spans a total length of 2890 meters， with a main span measuring 1420 meters. The bridge deck is situated an astonishing 625 meters above the water surface.
Upon completion， the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge will not only claim the title of the world’s longest main span for a mountain bridge at 1420 meters but will also set a new world record for bridge height at 625 meters， truly earning its designation as the “World’s Highest Bridge.” This remarkable achievement underscores China’s rapidly advancing capabilities in large-scale infrastructure projects and its commitment to pushing the boundaries of engineering excellence. The collaboration with cutting-edge domestic technology， as represented by the Xiaomi SU7， further illustrates the nation’s integrated progress in both heavy industry and smart manufacturing.
