Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge’s first steel truss girder was hoisted to the designated position for installation in SW China

An aerial drone photo taken on Nov. 4, 2024 shows the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge’s first steel truss girder, weighing about 215 tonnes, being hoisted to its designated position for installation in southwest China’s Guizhou Province.
