China has opened the world’s longest cross-sea bridge – which stretches five miles further than the distance between Dover and Calais.
The Jiaozhou Bay bridge is 26.4 miles long and links China’s eastern port city of Qingdao to the offshore island Huangdao.
The road bridge, which is 110ft wide and is the longest of its kind, cost nearly £1billion to build.
Chinese TV reports said the bridge passed construction appraisals on Monday and it, along with an undersea tunnel, would be opened for traffic today.
It took four years to build the bridge, which is supported by more than 5,000 pillars across the bay, and it is almost three miles longer than the previous record-holder – the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in Louisiana.
That structure features two bridges running side by side and is 23.87 miles long.
The three-way Qingdao Haiwan bridge is 174 times longer than London’s Tower Bridge, spanning the River Thames, but cuts only 19 miles off the drive from Qingdao to Huangdao.
Two separate groups of workers have been building it from different ends of the structure since 2006.

China is the next rising super power in the world. You will see that China is worst than America as soon as it is the next super power in the world. Atheists and pagans do not believe in Allah or the afterlife. A pagan hold the most hatred towards believers.
When China is the leading world super power, you will see the true oppression of China. Do you not see what China does to it’s own people? Check China’s human rights record then you will understand. Remember we are in the end of times, things are getting worst. China world domination is near.
Of course, since it is the goal of Muslims to dominate the world by converting all the infidels and non-Muslim idiots to Islam, I can only assume world domination by, say, Saudi Arabia, would be preferable to you.
More to the point: why must so much on DNO degenerate into religious arguments? If Dominicans spent more time studying the world around them, studying history, studying the universe, studying basic grammar, etc., they wouldn’t write such a vast quantity of medieval and scarcely literate comments. Your comment may not be “scarcely literate” but it certainly smacks of medievalism (“pagans?” Seriously?), which is simply embarrassing in the 21st century.
um u are right in a way……..
