Longest Sea Bridge

The World's Longest Sea Bridge was unveiled by China not long ago. The bridge will have a total length of 26.4 miles (42.58km) and is connecting Qingdao and Huangdao which will also cut the route by 20minutes travel time.

The massive engineering breakthrough said to have cost £5.5billion to build and took the Chinese four years to complete the whole structure. The bridge is said to be opened and available this coming New Year for the Chinese people. The bridge dethroned the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in Louisiana by almost 3miles as the longest bridge in the world.

The structure will be holding the title as the longest bridge for only a couple years because it will be dethroned by another Chinese bridge in the next years.
