MegaWorld will go to new heights as the world’s tallest cable bridge is being built as part of a $1.2 billion, 230 km construction project that runs from the Mexican interior to the pacific coast. At 390 m (1280 feet), the Baluarte Bridge will be the highest bridge in North America and the highest cable stayed bridge in the world. And we’ll find out how a 62-kilometer tunnel might be the key to preventing Mexico City from sinking.
