World’s Longest Sea Bridge Soon to Open in China
June 9, 2008
What bridge makers are calling the longest sea bridge in the world is in the final stages of completion near Shanghai in China. It is a 22 mile long bridge that spans between Shanghai and Ningbo that connects the two busy hubs.
What normally is a 250 mile distance between the two industrial cities will be cut down drastically to only 50 miles by the new bridge. Bridge makers have painstakingly labored for years on the plans and designs for the bridge, and it is sure to become a huge success in China and for the surrounding cities that it connects.
The new bridge is anticipated to be fully functioning and open to the public to travel on by next year. It is by no means an ordinary bridge. Besides being the longest sea bridge in existence, it also has six lanes and allows drivers to travel at speeds of 60 mph.
Its unique design combines the use of both viaducts and cables and serves as a dual purpose. It will still allow large ships to be able to pass underneath while traffic passes over them. It is a long anticipated addition to the communities. For years, there has been a problem connecting the two busy industrial hot spots because of the many miles that separate them. With the bridge in full action soon, the two communities can join forces and combine efforts to build the commerce and boost industries and resources.
The bridge will no doubt attract sight seers from all around the world. Anyone who is a bridge lover will certainly be drawn to the bridge and are anxiously awaiting the opening. Businesses in China are equally as eager for the bridge to open as it will draw in billions of dollars from tourism and mark a new spot on the map for attracting visitors to China.
It is truly a modern marvel that is unfolding. The idea of being able to travel 22 miles above the vast sea was almost unconceivable many years ago. It has taken engineers and bridge builders years and billions of dollars to make this project possible but will certainly have a positive impact for years to come.
