China opens world’s longest sea bridge
BBC News reports: “China has opened the world's longest sea bridge to general traffic.
“The bridge spans 42.4km (26.3 miles) to connect the eastern coastal city of Qingdao to the suburb of Huangdao, in Jiaozhou Bay.
“State media say the bridge passed construction tests on Monday and it opened to traffic on Thursday, along with an undersea tunnel.
“The bridge would easily cross the English Channel, which is 32km wide at its narrowest point.”
