BRIDGE BUILT IN MEXICO AWARDED BY OFFICIAL OF GUINNESS WORLD OF RECORDS

Mexican President Felipe Calderon has inaugurated the world's tallest bridge. It is part of a new highway crossing some of Mexico's most rugged terrain, from Mazatlan on the Pacific Coast to Durango in the interior, the source reports, reports the BBC. "This project will unite the people of northern Mexico as never before," President Calderon said at the inauguration ceremony.
Officials from the Guinness World of Records were on hand to present him with an award recognizing the engineering feat.
The 403m (1,322ft) tall Baluarte bridge spans a deep ravine in the Sierra Madre Occidental mountains in northern Mexico.
The opening of the 1,124m (3,687ft) long bridge is part of celebrations to mark 200 years of Mexico's independence from Spain.
It is expected to open to traffic later this year, and Mexican officials hope it will boost tourism and commerce in the region, the BBC reports.
