Part 2/10:
Constructing the Huajang Gorge Bridge in the mountainous province of Giza has proven to be a monumental challenge, done amidst extreme weather conditions and geological instability. Beginning in 2021, workers faced the daunting task of assembling thousands of tons of concrete and heavy equipment at high altitudes, saying farewell to their comfort zones to embrace difficulties presented by the steep cliffs and unpredictable weather.
With a bridge designed to stand strong amidst earthquakes and brutal winds, this engineering project tests the boundaries of what is possible. The drive time between two Southwest Chinese cities is transformed from nearly an hour to just a couple of minutes, heralding a new era of transportation in a region long plagued by isolation.
