Take a look at some of the world’s greatest bridges. THE MOST TERRIFYING——Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge If you’re afraid of heights, you might not want to walk along the Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge in central China, which is the world’s longest and highest glass bridge. It is suspended 300 metres above the ground, and walkers can see the sheer (陡峭的) drop below as they walk over 99 glass panels. The terrifying structure was completed in December 2015and cost around £2.6 million to build. How safe is it? To test it, Chinese officials struck the bridge with hammers and drove a car over it. THE TILTING (倾斜的) BRIDGE——Gateshead Millennium Bridge The Gateshead Millennium Bridge in the north-east of England is the world’s first tilting bridge. A tilting bridge is a moving bridge that uses motors to lift the arching structure——rather than opening in the middle and lifting up like a drawbridge——to allow ships to pass underneath. It has eight motors and can tilt at about 40° in four and a half minutes, making it a most extraordinary one throughout the world. Opened to the public in 2001, the bridge spans the River Tyne. THE LONGEST BRIDGE——Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge At an enormous 102 miles, Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge in China is the world’s longest bridge. Its span is the same as the distance from Birmingham to London, and it took a workforce of 10,000 people four years to complete it. Around 450,000 tons of steel was used in its construction, and it is so stable that it can stand 8-magnitude earthquakes or being hit by a 300,000-ton ship. It can even cope with the power of a strong typhoon. 1. Why
