World’s Tallest Bridge [17-02-2012]
Recently, a very tall bridge was built in Mexico. The name of the bridge is “Puente Baluarte.” It connects the states of Sinaloa and Durango. It is 1,124 meters long. Mexico started building the bridge in 2008 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the country’s independence from Spain.
When it was completed last month, it became the tallest bridge in the world. So how tall is it? Suspended 400 meters over the ground by 152 steel ropes, the cable-stayed bridge is actually taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The Eiffel Tower is 324 meters tall.

Recently, Guinness World Records declared the bridge as the world’s highest. A highway is under construction to connect mountain crags and deep ravines of the Sierra Madre. When the highway is completed later this year, people will be able to travel faster.

The highway is also expected to facilitate the movement of goods such as agricultural and manufactured products.
