China's and World's longest over water bridge is opened
On Thursday, June 30, China opened the longest sea bridge in the world, connecting the city of Qingdao and the city in the Gulf of Jiaozho Huangdao in Shandong province in eastern Iran. The bridge has a length of 36.48 km and consists of 8 lines.
It is expected that the bridge will cut to half the time between the cities of Qingdao and Hoangdo i..e. reducing the time from 40 minutes to 20 minutes.
The bridge is expected to carry 30,000 cars a day. Work on it has started in March 2007, at a cost of $ 2.3 billion.
