The Mukaab Will Be the World’s Largest Building
Saudi Arabia has a project named the Mukaab. This project is set to redefine architectural boundaries as the world’s largest structure.
The Beipanjiang Bridge stands as a breathtaking marvel of modern engineering and design high above the dramatic landscapes of China. This inspiring structure soars over 1850 feet above the Beipan River. So, this river holds the title of the highest bridge in the world.
This bridge, also known as the Duge Bridge, connects the provinces of Guizhou and Yunnan. It is not only a critical infrastructure feat but also a symbol of human ingenuity and ambition. With its sleek lines and stunning vistas, Duge Beipanjiang Bridge draws visitors from around the globe.

What Are the Dimensions of the Duge Beipanjiang Bridge?
The Beipanjiang Bridge is a colossal structure that commands attention with its impressive dimensions. Spanning a total length of 1,341 meters (4,400 feet), this engineering marvel boasts a central span of 720 meters (2,362 feet). With such cable dimensions, this bridge is also the longest cable-stayed bridge in the world!
In addition, the bridge towers rise to a height of 269 meters (883 feet). Its deck, positioned 565 meters (1,850 feet) above the Beipan River, offers a breathtaking view and stands as the highest bridge in the world.
Beipanjiang Bridge construction was a monumental task that spanned three years, from 2013 to 2016. As the project was a collaborative effort involving hundreds of skilled engineers, designers, and construction workers, it has an important place among thousands of people.
The China Highway Planning and Design Institute designed, and the Guizhou Road and Bridge Group handled the construction process. The combined effort and dedication of these two institutes have resulted in a structure that not only serves a vital transportation service but also stands as a testament to human innovation.
Lastly, there are rumors that some engineers indicated that the Beipanjiang Bridge is an impossible task and China should give up on the project. But this hardworking nation made their dream come true in just 3 years!
