The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in China has undergone a five-day testing process ahead of the scheduled opening in late September. The load test is the final step before it is considered safe to welcome traffic. A testing team drove 96 trucks onto designated points to test the bridge's structural integrity.

Rising 625 meters above a river in Guizhou Province, upon completion, the bridge will set the record for both the world's tallest bridge and largest span bridge built in a mountainous area.
