This painter either has a head for heights or a need for new underpants as he leans 1,102ft above the ground putting the finishing touches to the world’s HIGHEST bridge.

Workers are close to completing the 3,858ft-long Anzhaite Suspension Bridge in Jishou, Hunan, China, which they started building in 2007.

It is designed to ease traffic in the Jishou area of Hunan province and officially opened to motorists this week.

Drivers can take in the views of the Dehang Canyon as they steer their way across the span.

The bridge, which is lit up at night by 1,888 lights, is the fourth suspension bridge to cross a valley so wide it seems to be connecting two mountain ranges.

Once on the bridge cars and lorries can motor along a two-way, four-lane motorway at about 50mph. Pedestrian­s can also walk along it on a special walkway under the road.

China is has the longest bridge in the world. The Danyang Kunshan Grand Bridge which is just over 100miles long and was built two years ago to carry the Beijing–shanghai high-speed railway.
