Wow, that's high. Engineering at its' best.

Nice time-lapse video here:

Anyone know who the architect was? Information seems scant, surely not British?

Travelled through Guizhou last year and saw this bridge under construction; both the bridge and its surroundings are spectacular. In fact most of Guizhou is pretty spectacular, it could be a massive tourist draw but they need to sort a few things out (very few hotels are licensed for foreign guests, for example, and I trekked around a bunch of hotels and ended up being taken by the police to the only one in the area that could take me, which was a) way more expensive than i wanted or needed and b) very badly located for public transportation access to the places I wanted to visit, including a famous canyon near the above bridge... CCP's need for control trumping common sense, as per usual)

I was going to make a joke about opening it on 4/20, but damn, that's a nice looking piece of hardware.

Too scared to drive through it because I'm deathly afraid of heights.

It's cool that the cables kind of make it look like there are a couple of distant mountains or pyramids.
