The world's longest ocean bridge opens to traffic today. The 26-mile long bridge has taken four years to complete and links the eastern city of Qingdao with two offshore islands.

Jiaozhou Bay Bridge—the world's longest ocean bridge—opened to traffic Thursday morning in the eastern city of Qingdao in Shandong Province.

Spanning 26 miles across Jiaozhou Bay, the bridge connects Qingdao City with the two offshore islands of Huangdao and Hongdao.

The sea bridge is the longest of its kind in the world. It cost more than 1.5 billion U.S. dollars and has a life expectancy of a hundred years.

During its trial operation, the bridge has shown to greatly reduce travel time from downtown Qingdao to the surrounding areas.

A natural inlet of the sea, Jiaozhou Bay has three main ports. It separates Huangdao from Qingdao City and borders on two other cities—Jiaozhou and Jiaonan.

  • This is just the start of a superpower, infastructure is to grow. In Britain, infastructure grew, In America, many new pieces of infastructure were made in the industrial era. Now, China is stepping up the podium.

  • one question: CAN IT WITHSTAND A MISSILE STRIKE?!

  • one question

  • 為何不選擇最短路徑4公里長而建橋 卻選擇蓋36.5公里的橋 如此浪費民酯民膏 官員心態到底為何 為破世界記錄 為誇耀嗎

    因在海上建橋難度大 風險高 花費高 壽命不長 所以要三思

    為何不排除萬難選擇最短路徑呢 而又建另一海底隧道 真令人匪夷所思

  • @sextasis hahaha
