The longest bridge in China

Hangzhou Bay Bridge

Hangzhou Bay Bridge (simplified Chinese: 杭州湾大桥) is a long highway bridge with a cable-stayed portion across Hangzhou Bay in the eastern coastal region of China.

It connects the municipalities of Jiaxing and Ningbo in Zhejiang province. At 117028 ft. (22 mi) in length, Hangzhou Bay Bridge is the longest trans-oceanic bridge in the world, but it does not have the longest cable-stayed main span.

The bridge is built in 43 months, from Nov, 2003 to Jun, 2007. It costs about 2.8 billion dollars.

  1. The bridge is so long and remarkable!!! I like this bridge.
    But, I have one question: why they didn't build the bridge on a bottleneck.
    They could save a lot of money and time.
