[more]Excerpt from Wikipedia
The Long River Bridge or Longjiang Bridge (龙江特大桥) is a suspension bridge near Baoshan, Yunnan, China. The main span of the bridge is 1,196 m (3,924 ft) making it one of the longest ever built. The bridge is also one of the highest in world sitting 280 m (920 ft) above the river below. The bridge completed construction in April, 2016, and is expected to open to public on May 1, 2016.

Geography
The bridge is part of S10 Baoshan–Tengchong Expressway, connecting the cities of Baoshan and Tengchong in southwest China, and going straight to Myanmar. It crosses the Long River Valley, the largest natural obstacle on the Baoteng Expressway. Prior to the bridge, going from Baoshan to Tengchong involves a 13.5 km (8.4 mi) detour down to the valley floor.
