World's highest bridge to come up in China 
China's Beipanjiang Bridge, which is expected to be the world's highest bridge upon completion, is nearing the end of its construction. Measuring 565 metres (about 1,850 feet) above the Beipan river, it will span a distance of over 1,000 metres to connect the Guizhou and Yunnan provinces. The bridge is scheduled to open to public by the end of 2016.
